**REGISTRATION FOR THE WINTER SERIES OF EAST BAY READS IS NOW CLOSED**

WHAT IS EAST BAY READS?

East Bay Reads is a new book group that brings neighbors together to encourage each other to read, discuss, and act. 

East Bay Reads titles will be selected on themes that represent a diverse range of voices and viewpoints. Group facilitators will seek to offer both nonfiction and fiction books that pair together on the series theme. By applying the sociological concept of intersectionality, we will also explore the interconnected nature of key issues such as race, class, and gender. We will discuss how these characterizations overlap and contribute to systems of discrimination and privilege. Participants will be encouraged to reflect upon their own experiences and find ways to take action that moves beyond group discussion. 

WHEN DOES THE GROUP MEET?

The winter series of EBR will focus on the theme of Race in America.

Book discussions will take place at 7 pm on:

• Thursday, January 21 - How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi (nonfiction)

• Thursday, March 4 - Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid (fiction)

• Thursday, April 15 - So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo (nonfiction)

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE BOOK SUCH A FUN AGE

A striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun Age is a page-turning and big-hearted story about race and privilege, set around a young black babysitter, her well-intentioned employer, and a surprising connection that threatens to undo them both. [From the publisher].
