Event title: Free book talk & facilitated discussion of Matthew Desmond's Poverty,
By America
Description: The United States is the richest nation in the world, but has
more people experiencing poverty than any other advanced democracy. Please join ALA's Social Responsibility Roundtable to explore this fundamental paradox and engage in critical inquiry and communal conversation. Using Matthew Desmond's recently-published
book Poverty, By America as our anchor, we'll consider questions like: What factors contribute to the persistence of poverty in America? Who benefits from it? How are libraries approaching this issue? Please join us!
Date: Thursday, July 13 at 1:00 pm CST
Co-Hosts: Rachel Rosekind ([log in to unmask])
