Welcome to the 2021 Adult Summer Reading Big Book Challenge! This year, for the first time ever, we're exploring three thematically-linked titles with our reading choices: The Portable Frederick Douglass, a collection of autobiographical works by the abolitionist and former slave; the graphic novel The Life of Frederick Douglass by David Walker; and the National Book Award-winning tale of abolition The Good Lord Bird by James McBride.
As with 2020, all discussions and programs will take place online via Zoom. Make sure you're on our Summer Reading mailing list by sending an email to reference@ucitylibrary.org. These emails will include all Zoom invite links, so make sure "reference@ucitylibrary.org" is on your list of approved senders. You can also find links to all of the emails at the bottom of this page.
UCPL will still offer its Big Book readers the same discussions and scholar presentations — and informative blog posts — you've come to know and love.
