One Book, One Philadelphia: True Biz Discussion
Walnut Street West Library
Join the Walnut Street West Library for a discussion of the One Book, One Philadelphia selection. True Biz is a fast-moving novel following students of the fictional River Valley School for the Deaf, "a story of sign language and lip-reading, disability and civil rights, first love and loss, and, above all, great persistence, daring, and joy, this is an unforgettable journey into the Deaf community and a universal celebration of human connection."
The discussion will invite participants to share their own experiences. Reading the book beforehand is encouraged but not necessary to participate. A limited supply of copies of the book are available at the library (to keep!) on a first-come first-served basis.
