Most Read This Week In Activism

[close] Books for a Better World is a book club dedicated to thinking and talking inequality and injustice in the U.S. and around the world. We explore books about race, gender, immigration, sexuality, poverty, and criminal justice issues. Nonfiction, novels, comics, and memoirs--there's something for everyone. You do not have to be a resident of Taylor to take part in this club, nor are you required to have a card from TCL. We're open to any who love to read and talk about books! **Current book picks will be available digitally or physically from the library. TCL cardholders can access digital copies free on Hoopla.

[close] My Body, My Book Club aims to connect people and create communities. We read fiction books (with the odd memoir here and there too) that deal with different aspects of how we understand bodily autonomy and exemplify how we can get involved and support each other. Issues such as gender-based violence, racism, homelessness, displacement, abortion, obstetric violence, and the rights of marginalised communities, like the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ groups, are just some of the topics we cover. We know this is heavy stuff, but the book club hopes to foster empathy as well as raise awareness and question established narratives. Our main goal is to connect communities. So, for each session, we partner with a charity working with the subject we will be reading about in the novel, and we invite an expert on the topic to join our chat. (Also, all proceeds from the sale of tickets will be donated to the month’s charity.)

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] A goodreads group for members of the Sunrise Movement to share the books that they're reading!
