One Book, One Community Book Discussion
Friday April 12th at 12:00 PM
"One Book, One Community" is a community-wide reading program aimed at ten area libraries and Prairie State College. We will be discussing this year’s selection: "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. The book is an account of origin of the HeLa cells, whose existence has increased knowledge about science, genetics, and cancer - despite the fact that the cells were taken without permission. It is a rich and fascinating book that was chosen to increase our community’s knowledge on global problems, diversity issues and to facilitate interactions within the community. Mutiple copies are available to checkout at Patron Services.
