Celebrate Black History Month 2022
Join the Friends of the Mandel Public Library and other book lovers every second Friday of the month for a lively discussion of selected books.
February's book will be Passing by Nella Larsen. Irene Redfield is a Black woman living an affluent, comfortable life with her husband and children in the thriving neighborhood of Harlem in the 1920s. When she reconnects with her childhood friend Clare Kendry, who is similarly light-skinned, Irene discovers that Clare has been passing for a white woman after severing ties to her past—even hiding the truth from her racist husband. This classic 1929 novel was made into a Netflix film in 2021. Informal book chatter begins at 11:30 AM followed by a moderated book discussion at noon. No registration required. Visit the library's online calendar for the Zoom link. For more information, visit wpbcitylibrary.org or call 561-868-7701.
