Online Book Group
The Online Book Group is our new monthly discussion group. While we are closed to the public due to the pandemic, we can no longer host book groups in the Library, so....we've moved online!

Reading for Equity
The Reading for Equity book group was formed in 2020 in response to the worldwide protests in response to race based police violence which influenced many individuals, organizations and corporations to commit to educating themselves on how to be anti-racist. The Westwood Library is committed to providing an opportunity for this education by providing a quarterly book group focused on equity issues.
