Diversity Discussions

This book club is open to all FLA members! Books are carefully selected to encourage dialogue on topics of diversity and how they may relate to the library workplace. Together, we create a fun and safe environment where we can have conversations on topics like gender identity, race, and immigrant experiences with the help of some really interesting reads.

Here's what's up next:

           

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic
by Alison Bechdel

Distant and exacting, Bruce Bechdel was an English teacher and director of the town funeral home, which Alison and her family referred to as the "Fun Home." It was not until college that Alison, who had recently come out as a lesbian, discovered that her father was also gay. A few weeks after this revelation, he was dead, leaving a legacy of mystery for his daughter to resolve.

Time magazine named Fun Home the Best Book of 2006. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori.
