A book club with Los Bookis Podcast and the Mt. Pleasant Library to celebrate and uplift Queer Latine authors and stories.
Join our community of readers for a bimonthly book club where we will discuss titles centering queer Latine voices and stories with library staff and Los Bookis, a podcast for queer Latine bookworms. This space will center queer Latine authors and celebrate storytelling, community, and conversation.
For our kickoff meeting on November 13, we will be having a conversation about our first book, Loca: a novel by Alejandro Heredia. There are several copies of the book on hold for participants at the Mt. Pleasant Neighborhood Library. Ask staff at the desk if there is a copy available for checkout.

About the book:
From Lambda Literary Award–winning author Alejandro Heredia comes a spellbinding debut about intersectionality, enduring friendship, and found family set at the turn of the millennium in 1999, following two Afro-Caribbean friends as they journey beyond the confined expectations of their home country in the Dominican Republic and begin new lives in New York City.
