SCCL Banned Book Club | Double Header

Join us for the next edition of the SCCL Book Club! 
This month is a DOUBLE HEADER!

We will be discussing both the June book, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (that was postponed due to the playoffs), and the September book, They Called Us Enemy by George Takei.

The Kite Runner traces the unlikely friendship of a wealthy Afghan youth and a servant’s son, in a tale that spans the final days of Afghanistan’s monarchy through the atrocities of the present day.

They Called Us Enemy chronicles Takei’s experiences growing up in a Japanese internment camp. The graphic novel also highlights Takei’s efforts to fight intolerance and to stand up for equity, equality, and justice. (Youth welcome)

DISCUSSION MEETING DETAILS:
Thursday, September 11
7 pm – 9 pm
Strathcona Community League Lounge (10139 87 Ave)
Snacks will be served

Given the recent news around book banning, we’ve included a few short videos.
