Join us on Zoom for a virtual book discussion of Beloved by Toni Morrison!
Join us on Zoom for the "Stories of Exile" Reading Group virtual discussion of Beloved by Toni Morrison. During the past year we have read Yiddish books in translation that have centered on the themes of displacement, migration, and diaspora. For this last book, we have chosen an English book related to these experiences.
Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Participants in Central Ohio who are registered for the reading group will receive a copy of Beloved to read and return to the library after the book discussion. Beloved is also accessible on Libby for participants outside of Central Ohio.
About the reading group:
The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration, and diaspora. In this program, librarians organize reading groups to discuss three books of Yiddish literature in translation, and one book related to the experience of a community served by their library. The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is made possible by a gift from Sharon Karmazin.
Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
