The proposed Community Book Club will facilitate and inspire a reading community that encourages independent reading. It will serve as a platform for readers to dive deeper into the content that we read together. Selections will cultivate empathy and an appreciation for cultural differences. The pandemic’s mandate to increase the use of technology has certainly reduced our opportunities to share belly-laughs about books in the library, but more generally, the pandemic has reduced all of our opportunities for human connections. The Community Book Club is one strategy for bridging this gap in our student’s social-emotional development and will allow them to connect with a community of readers on a weekly basis via Google Meet. The students will be encouraged to analyze the text through open discourse among participants. If the school is reopened during the school year meetings will be face-to-face in the school library's media center, but the books purchased with project funds will still be needed. Our hope is to cultivate a community of readers who are able to openly discuss complex issues so that they can develop the lifelong skills necessary to acquire knowledge, hear other’s perspectives, and see the power of communities in action as they share their thoughts and work together. Student participants who are unable to purchase a copy of the selected book(s) will be provided a book through the support of Donors Choose.
