Description :

Join us at 7 PM in the Marcy Room for our Queer Reader Book Club! In this group we will read and discuss books by and about the LGBTQ+ community. The June book is Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo. Pick up your copy at the circulation desk! "'That book. It was about two women, and they fell in love with each other.' And then Lily asked the question that had taken root in her, that was even now unfurling its leaves and demanding to be shown the sun: 'Have you ever heard of such a thing?' Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can’t remember exactly when the question took root, but the answer was in full bloom the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father—despite his hard-won citizenship—Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day." Questions? Contact Lily Mysona at (781) 507-2489 or lmysona@noblenet.org. Registration is required. stonehamlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/queer-reader-an-lgbtq-book-club-10/
