For October we will be discussing Don't Ask Me Where I'm From by Jennifer De Leon, the ONE Metrowest Readers Festival teen pick. De Leon will be giving a book talk at the Goodnow Library the previous week, Thursday, September 30th at 7pm- attendance isn't mandatory, but is a great opportunity to learn more about the book.

The Goodnow Library, together with others in the community, believes that promoting the seeking of knowledge and information leads to understanding and empathy. As a result we are launching a new community wide series called Sudbury CARES (Community Alliance for Race Education Series). This group was formed to create a space for everyone in our community to discuss and learn about racism, causes of systemic racism, and what can be done to counteract it. Our goal is to learn and explore together, in a safe space where all voices are heard and listened to with respect.
