Join us for Color Our World Book Discussion, a dynamic book discussion group dedicated to exploring and celebrating contemporary works by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) authors. Each month, we’ll read and discuss books from a variety of genres, diving into stories that amplify diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences.

This in-person discussion group meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month from June through August, offering a welcoming space for thought-provoking conversations and shared insights. Whether you're a lifelong reader or just looking to expand your literary horizons, this is a great opportunity to connect with others, discover new authors, and engage in meaningful discussions.

Upcoming Reads:
June: Shutter by Ramona Emerson - A gripping, supernatural thriller blending mystery and Navajo traditions.

July: Nightcrawling by Leila Mottley - A dazzling debut novel that explores institutional exploitation and police brutality. 

August: Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner - A powerful memoir about growing up Korean-American.

Come share your perspectives, broaden your literary world, and celebrate the richness of diverse storytelling. All are welcome!
