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 Because of Sex : One Law, Ten Cases, and Fifty Years that Changed American Women's Lives at Work by Thomas Gillian (2016)

Books will be available at Circulation Desk on Friday, February 16th.

Registration requested please.
