United in Reading Book Club

The ILA Diversity Committee is hosting a book club! "United in Reading" is a book discussion club celebrating diversity and the love of reading.

The mission of the club is to create a welcoming and respectful space for ILA members to engage in discussions that deepen our understanding of different cultures and experiences.

The club is open to all ILA personal members. The committee will host three discussions (June, August, and October). Space is limited for discussions, so sign up early! You must apply to participate in a discussion. 

Participants will receive titles through NetGalley, and discussion dates will be determined via a Doodle Poll. The deadline to apply is Monday, May 5, 2025. 

Questions? Please contact ILA Communications and Engagement Manager Tamara Jenkins at tjenkins@ila.org.
