Anacortes Public Library Book Club Celebrates Black History Month

The Anacortes Public Library is set to host a Book Club meeting on February 24, 2025, focusing on _James_ by Percival Everett to honor Black History Month. This literary gathering invites all readers of the book to join an enriching discussion that aims to deepen community engagement with significant cultural themes. Scheduled for 7:00 pm in the Community Meeting Room, the event provides a welcoming space for local residents to share their insights and perspectives. By exploring Everett's narrative, participants will gain a greater appreciation for the complexities of Black history and identity. The Library Book Club serves as a vital platform for fostering dialogue around important social issues through literature.

This initiative not only promotes reading but also encourages a collective exploration of cultural narratives that shape our understanding of history. Community involvement in such discussions can lead to a more informed and empathetic society. The event underscores the Library's commitment to cultural awareness and community enrichment.
