Stop by the branch for a copy of the book. If you’d like it in ebook format, you can find it on Libby.
We will come together to discuss the book on Saturday, July 25 at 3 p.m. It will be a hybrid meeting so you have the option of attending in person or via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom send an email to ayosco@lapl.org so we can get the link to you.
