Arroyo Book Club Pick for September….
The Arroyo Book Club will be reading the book
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by Rebecca Skloot for our September meeting.
To quote from the library catalog’s summary: “The story of the Lacks family is inextricably connected to the dark
history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and
the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of.” Clearly this is a book with the potential
for discussion on a large number of issues.
Stop by the library any time this month to pick up a copy of the book and
then join us on September 22 at 3:00 to share your thoughts.
