Online Book Group

Please consider joining our Online Book Group.  Each selected book will be available digitally and in print. We will meet meet monthly online.  To get an invitation to the discussion register on our calendar. Meets at 7:30pm!  See upcoming selections and register on the Adult Programs page.

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.   The Library will be picking a book to focus on each quarter with a scheduled meeting to touch base.  Please review on the Adult Programs page to see opportunities to learn about the featured book.
