Bethlehem Public Library news: A talk with the author

Spotlight Newsroom by Spotlight Newsroom
February 2, 2022
in Blogs, Community Blogs
Reading Time: 2 mins read

Our every-other-month Check ’Em Out book discussion group is bringing in noted author Onnesha Roychoudhuri for a virtual Q and A and discussion of her book “The Marginalized Majority: Claiming Our Power in a Post-Truth America” Monday, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m.

Roychoudhuri is a writer, speaker and educator with over 15 years of experience working at the intersection of storytelling and social justice. “The Marginalized Majority” was named one of the best books of 2018 by Kirkus Reviews. She regularly leads writing and storytelling workshops and her writing has appeared in publications such as Rolling Stone, The Boston Review, McSweeney’s, The Rumpus, The Nation, Salon and Mother Jones.

In “The Marginalized Majority,” Roychoudhuri argues against the notion that if progressives want to reclaim power, they need to reach across the aisle and look past identity politics. Instead, she makes the case that progressive voices are already the majority — and that a plurality of identities is not only their greatest strength, but is also at the indisputable core of successful progressive change throughout history.

Join us for this exciting virtual discussion! To sign up, visit our online calendar at bethlehem.librarycalendar.com and click on the date of the event. You can borrow a copy of the book from the library or download the audiobook on Hoopla with no wait: www.hoopladigital.com/title/12151550.

Tax season has begun, and we know that for many people, the library is their go-to for forms and information. The library has federal tax forms available now and state forms are coming soon. Did you know we can also print copies of ANY tax form for you at the Information Desk?

Library skills

A library is every student’s best friend. We’ve got research materials to help with assignments, as well as books and additional reading to enhance studies. On Friday, Feb. 11, at 10:30 a.m., we’re holding a Homeschool Library Skills program just for students in grades 6-12 who are homeschooling.
