About the event

Love reading stories from diverse authors? Do you find yourself seeking out books with a diverse array of characters and experiences? Join the Colorful Reads Book Club, where we will read different fiction books every month that are from diverse authors and feature characters with varied identities, orientations, and backgrounds. New members are always welcome! Light refreshments will be provided!

This month we are reading If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin (also available as an e-book and e-audiobook)
