Open Book Club meets next on Monday, July 6, 2026.

Two In-Person Sessions:
10 – 11 am at Morningside Branch Library
5 to 6 pm at the Aalfs Downtown Library (free parking in the evening)

July’s title is To Save and to Destroy by Viet Thanh Nguyen.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer comes a moving and unflinchingly personal meditation on the literary forms of otherness and a bold call for expansive political solidarity.

Green rectangular button with white, bold text that says, VIEW THIS TITLE IN THE LIBRARYS CATALOG.
