About this Event

In September we will read The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison


Book Summary: In Morrison’s acclaimed first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment.


When: Thursday, September 19th at 7:00 PM

Where: This hybrid event will be held at VHC and available via zoom link.


The Banned Book Club. This event is hybrid!!

This isn't just any book club; it's a declaration, a statement, and a movement. Dive into tales that have shaken foundations, challenged norms, and often found themselves silenced or sidelined. Let’s come together to discover, discuss, and defend the books that were once forbidden. Join us in this exciting journey and let's champion the freedom to read!
