Passport to Reading Challenge and Chat: #ownvoices

February’s challenge is to read an #ownvoices book. In case you are not familiar with the term, #ownvoices is a hashtag that was created by Corinne Duyvis to highlight books written by an author that shares a marginalized identity with the protagonist.

For example, a book with a deaf protagonist written by a deaf  author is #ownvoices. Join us for our Book Chat. Bring your ‘Brown Bag’ lunch, chat about books, and enjoy a special guest speaker.
