This is a one day only event in which library patrons may take out Human Books on loan at reserved stations in the library for story and dialogue concerning the book’s experience of discrimination and stereotyping. Your curiosity and questions are welcome! Pizza lunch provided. Co-sponsored by Write on the DOT, UMass Boston MFA Program and BPL Fields Corner Branch Library. Contact: dotreadingseries@gmail.com.
