READY FOR ROMANCE BOOK CLUB
Brighten this dreary winter with a light-hearted rom-com. Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian is the first book in the Ready for Romance Book Club. Despite the title, it's not a cotton candy confection. Contact the librarian, Mrs. Gutierrez, at (310) 377-4888 ext. 42602 or [email protected] to join and arrange for the pickup of your copy. Members will meet virtually around Valentine's Day to share their observations and ice cream.
PTSA BOOK CLUB
Meet with Panther families to discuss The Color of Law at the first PTSA Book Club meeting on Saturday, Feb. 13 from 9:00 to 10:30 am on Zoom. The Color of Law details how federal housing policies in the 1940s and 1950s mandated segregation and hindered Black families from buying their own homes. Shereen Walter, Director of Legislation for the state PTA and Carol Kocivar, past president of the California PTA and current legislative advocate are the guest facilitators.
