Social Justice Book Club

Social Justice Book Club

March 12, 2018

Conversations matter. There’s still time to sign up for the majority of the sessions today!

The Abington Community Library is hosting a Social Justice Book Club throughout 2018. There will be four sessions, each focusing on a different, relevant social justice topic. Copies of the books may be picked-up at the Library once you are registered. Attendance is not required at all four sessions. These discussions are open to teens, 9-12th grades and adults but teens will have the chance to attend special teen-only discussions should they feel more comfortable in that setting. This series is aimed at exploring difficult subjects and create a dialogue in a safe environment. We hope you will join us on this journey.
