This year's theme is Native American Literature & Experiences Where the Dead Sit Talking by Brandon Hobson "A spare, lyrical Native American coming of age story set in rural Oklahoma in the late 1980s. With his single mother in jail, Sequoyah, a fifteen-year-old Cherokee boy, is placed in foster care with the Troutt family. Literally and figuratively scarred by his unstable upbringing, Sequoyah has spent years mostly keeping to himself, living with his emotions pressed deep below the surface--that is, until he meets the seventeen-year-old Rosemary, another youth staying with the Troutts. Sequoyah and Rosemary bond over their shared Native American backgrounds and tumultuous paths through the foster care system, but as Sequoyah's feelings toward Rosemary deepen, the precariousness of their lives and the scars of their pasts threaten to undo them both"-- Provided by publisher. New members and occasional drop ins are always welcome to the longest running book group at the Lincoln Library Books in various formats will be available at least 2 weeks prior to meetings, and also available through either Hoopla, or Overdrive as E Books and/or Digital Audio Books https://lincolnpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/friday-morning-book-group-33/

  The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing by Mira Jacobs In this novel by Mira Jacob, it is 1998, and Amina is a professional photographer living in Seattle when she receives a call from her mother, Kamala. Amina learns that her renowned brain-surgeon father, Thomas, is in the midst of what appears to be a mental breakdown. The family moved from India to New Mexico in the 1980s following a visit to India that led to a terrible tragedy. Now Amina goes back home to discover that her father's illness is related to that fateful trip and the actions of her brother, Akhil. Amina knows she is the only one who can uncover the truth of what is going on and finally confront the secrets that her family has been keeping for decades.  Reading for pleasure shouldn’t have to be all work – join us for a fun, new book group. We will read fairly current fiction (maybe even nonfiction) that will be entertaining and well written. We will meet on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 PM. Copies in various formats will be available 2 weeks prior to each meeting. Refreshments will be served!.

Mondays at 7:00 pm  For more information and to receive a Zoom invite please email Robin at rrapoport@minlib.net Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson "Two families from different social classes are joined together by an unexpected pregnancy and the child that it produces. As the book opens in 2001, it is the evening of sixteen-year-old Melody's coming of age ceremony in her grandparents' Brooklyn brownstone. Watched lovingly by her relatives and friends, making her entrance to the music of Prince, she wears a special custom-made dress. But the event is not without poignancy. Sixteen years earlier, that very dress was measured and sewn for a different wearer: Melody's mother, for her own ceremony -- a celebration that ultimately never took place"--Adapted from jacket. Available as an Overdrive ebook and an Overdrive audiobook. https://lincolnpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/reading-for-racial-justice-5/
