Brownell Library Intergenerational Book Discussion
Have you checked out We Contain Multitudes yet? It's this years' Vermont Community Read and is an LGBTQ love story told in letters that touches on subjects ranging from queer relationships, to consent, to PTSD, to domestic violence. It's full of humor and insight. Brownell Library and Voices for Inclusion in Essex and Westford (VIEW) are co-hosting an intergenerational book discussion on Zoom on January 24, from 6-7:30. The discussion will largely be led by the interests of participants and will cover subjects like identity, resilience, and healing from trauma. Those interested in this discussion can sign up on the event calendar on our website, www.brownelllibrary.org, and will receive the Zoom link a few days before the event. Books can be checked out from Brownell or your school library. Hope to see you there!
