BIPOC Book Club

This book club is exclusively for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) readers. All book selections are by LGBTQIA+ BIPOC authors and include LGBTQIA+ characters and themes.
Please note: People of Color (POC) refers to people or communities who experience discrimination or racism based on the color of their skin and/or ethnic features.
Join us every fourth Thursday of the month from 6 - 7pm for a moderated discussion about the book of the month! RSVP's are not required but appreciated.
This book club is free though small donations are appreciated to help cover the $5/hr room rental and support the bookstore!
