All patrons and friends of the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library are welcome to join the Page Turners, the Library’s book discussion group. The meeting will be hybrid this month.

Our December selection is Charles Chesnutt’s The Marrow of Tradition, published in 1901 and grounded in the 1898 racial massacre in Wilmington, North Carolina, that produced the only coup d’état in American history and propelled the instantiation of Jim Crow segregation. In January we turn to W.E.B. Dubois’s classic The Souls of Black Folk (1903) along with the short story “Talma Gordon” (1900) by Portland-born Pauline Hopkins.
Page Turners maintains a discussion list for our members, at which you can receive advance background information and preparatory discussion questions. If you would like further information about this group, please contact Sue Lanser at lanser@brandeis.edu or 925-6244.
