The Nonfiction Book Group for Adults meets on the 4th Monday of each month from 7:00 - 8:00 PM in September, October, November, January, February, March, and April. We'll read non-fiction books which focus on a one theme per year.

The theme for September 2023-April 2024 is the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was signed on July 2, 1964, by President Johnson. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The law’s eleven sections prohibited discrimination in the workplace, public accommodations, public facilities, and agencies receiving federal funds, and strengthened prohibitions on school segregation and discrimination in voter registration.

This month we will read and discuss Under the Skin : Racism, Inequality, and the Health of a Nation by Linda Villarosa (2022).

Books will be available at Circulation Desk on Friday, January 19th.

Registration requested please.

Additional Book Choices can be found online.
