Education Everywhere — Children can become aware of social issues at a young age, and the Grand Rapids Public Library is helping foster that with a book club that will meet through the end of 2024.
The “Social Justice Begins with ME” book club is for children ages 4 to 11. Children ages 4 to 8 will listen to a book read by a volunteer and discuss the topics in small groups. Those ages 9 to 11 will read a book in advance and discuss it together in a small group.
The groups will meet at the main branch of the library, 111 Library St. NE, from 10:30 a.m. until noon on the following Saturdays:
- Sept. 21
- Oct. 19
- Nov. 9
- Dec. 7
Topics will include racial justice, disability justice, environmental justice and gender equity.
To register, visit the library’s book club page.
