Silver Spring Village Book Club - In-Person

At the Brigadier General Charles E. McGee Library

Join the Silver Spring Village in an engaging discussion of a variety of genres. This month we are reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

This month's book is The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does or does not say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life"—(Teen Fiction)

We are looking for new members, so please come by! Our goal is a diverse group of adult readers who are interested in reading new and different titles. 

We meet in the third floor meeting room at 3:00 on the 4th Thursday of the month. 

Next month we're reading Autumn by Ali Smith.
