U City Readers ARE the Best Readers in the World!


We are SO excited to have such incredible interest in our Big Book Challenge this year! You are crushing it and making us so proud.

Because participation is so high, we might have an extra large gathering for our first Zoom meeting, discussing The Portable Frederick Douglass (pp. ix-149) on Wednesday, June 23 at 7pm, led by Dr. Bryan Jack. We'd like to ask for questions for Dr. Jack in advance to help better manage turnout, so please email kmgallagher@ucitylibrary.org with any of your burning (or casual) questions. We will be emailing out a list of the questions prior to the discussion.

What do you want to know about Douglass and his story? We want to make as many of your voices ‘heard’ as possible, so please don’t be shy!

If you’re interested in exploring our Challenge titles in different formats, take a look at Overdrive by Libby and Hoopla, where you can find eBook versions of The Portable Frederick Douglass and audio of The Good Lord Bird, respectively.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
