The Grandview Heights Public Library is pleased to join eight other Central Ohio library systems in a partnership to promote a community reading of Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds as part of a Let’s Talk About Race: One Book—One Community initiative.
The community read kicks off on Monday, November 9, and continues through Sunday, January 24, when the libraries will host author Jason Reynolds in a virtual discussion of the book at 4 pm.
This initiative is designed to broaden and deepen the library’s focus on literacy and cultivate dialogue around race and social justice based upon a shared reading experience for the Central Ohio community.
During this 11-week program, each library will work with local schools and other community partners to promote reading and discussion of the book. Registration for the virtual event with Jason Reynolds, which is free, will begin in early January.
Read the book and join the conversation! Central Ohio libraries are making extra copies of the book available for this event.
Reserve the book, e-book, or audiobook at ghpl.org.
