Event Details

DiversiTeen Book Club meets once a month at the library to talk about great YA books. Teens ages 12-18 are welcome to join and can choose to participate in-person or via Zoom. Each month, we discuss a different book, with a free copy of the book provided by the library in advance while supplies last.  
New members should register if they would like to attend via Zoom and/or to receive a free copy of the book while supplies last. Existing or returning book club members do not need to register and walk-in attendees are also welcome at meetings. You must be 12-18 years to attend this program.

This month's book: Imposter Syndrome and Other Confessions of Alejandra Kim by Patricia Park

Synopsis:

Alejandra Kim doesn't feel like she belongs anywhere. At her wealthy Manhattan high school, her super-Spanish name and super-Korean face do not compute to her mostly white "woke" classmates and teachers. In her Queens neighborhood, she's not Latinx enough. And things at home have only gotten worse since Papi's body was discovered on the subway tracks. 
Ale wants nothing more than to escape the city for the wide-open spaces of the prestigious Whyder College. But when a microaggression at school thrusts Ale into the spotlight- and into a discussion she didn't ask for- Ale must discover what it means to carve out a space for yourself to belong.
