Noname Book Club Uplifts the Voices of People of Color

See below for updated links to Noname book club's monthly selections!

"Each One Reach One" is a mantra the Noname Book Club (NNBC) seems to take to heart. Uplifting People of Color's voices in online communities and book discussions, NNBC even includes incarcerated comrades when highlighting two books every month written by authors of color. Its reach is nationwide, and CHPL is proud to join other libraries across the country to connect with this inspirational group.
