Required Reading: Texts for Change Book Club (Online)
Date: 08/12/25Time: 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Branch: Online Branch
Age group: Adults
Program type: Race, Equity & Inclusion
Description:
Required Reading: Texts for Change is the new quarterly book club of the HCLS Equity Resource Center & Collection. Join other equity-minded colleagues and community members who are curious, committed, and ready to keep growing. Together, we’ll engage with powerful texts—books that challenge assumptions, introduce new frameworks, and offer fresh ways of thinking about equity in our work and in our community.
Why now? Because Howard County is a beautifully diverse community—with people of all backgrounds, experiences, and dreams. And like many places, we’re also navigating real disparities in access, opportunity, and belonging. This book club invites us to pause, reflect, and build our capacity to better serve, support, and show up for the people who call our county home.
We’ll read three nonfiction books throughout the year and one fiction title each summer—something a little lighter to make space for joy and imagination. Some of these texts may stretch us. That’s the point. Growth happens when we’re willing to sit with complexity and listen deeply—to authors, to each other, and to the communities we live in and serve.
This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about reading with intention—and learning together in community.
August 12 - Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson
November 11- Seek: how curiosity can transform your life and change the world by Scott Shigeoka

The New York Times' review, when this novel came out in 2020, read, "Alam doesn’t dwell in the specificity of apocalypse, which has been the obsession of writers since the Flood. Instead he lobs a prescient accusation: Faced with the end of the world, you wouldn’t do a damn thing." We'll discuss the book, the climate crisis, and whether we would do a damn thing.

Description:
Cycle of Segregation: Book Discussion – Part One
Two-part series: Aug 21 & Aug 28
Join Johns Hopkins University sociology professor Michael Bader and Columbia Housing Center Executive Director Jessamine Duvall for a special two-part community discussion of Cycle of Segregation: Social Processes and Residential Stratification by Maria Krysan and Kyle Crowder.
This groundbreaking book explores why residential segregation persists more than fifty years after the Fair Housing Act — and how everyday social networks and past neighborhood experiences can keep the cycle going.
In Part One (August 21), we'll unpack the book’s core ideas together, grounding them in the context of Columbia’s original vision of integration.
In Part Two (August 28), we’ll dive deeper into county-wide implications, reflect on what this research means for our neighborhoods today, and explore actions we can take to interrupt segregation’s self-perpetuating patterns in Howard County.
Whether you’re new to this topic or eager to connect the dots between history and the present, these conversations will help us see how we can shape a more inclusive future — together. Please plan to attend both sessions to gain the most out of the discussion.”
Reading the book in advance is strongly encouraged. The library is ordering copies of Cycle of Segregation, which we expect to be available to borrow by the first week of August.
Register once to attend both sessions (August 21 & 28). Please include your email address to receive event reminders.

Cycle of Segregation: A Two-Part Book Discussion
Date: 08/28/25Time: 6:30pm - 7:45pm
Branch: Central Branch
Age group: Adults
Program type: Race, Equity & Inclusion
Description:
Cycle of Segregation: Book Discussion – Part Two
Two-part series: Aug 21 & Aug 28
Join Johns Hopkins University sociology professor Michael Bader and Columbia Housing Center Executive Director Jessamine Duvall for a special two-part community discussion of Cycle of Segregation: Social Processes and Residential Stratification by Maria Krysan and Kyle Crowder.
This groundbreaking book explores why residential segregation persists more than fifty years after the Fair Housing Act — and how everyday social networks and past neighborhood experiences can keep the cycle going.
In Part One (August 21), we'll unpack the book’s core ideas together, grounding them in the context of Columbia’s original vision of integration.
In Part Two (August 28), we’ll dive deeper into county-wide implications, reflect on what this research means for our neighborhoods today, and explore actions we can take to interrupt segregation’s self-perpetuating patterns in Howard County.
Whether you’re new to this topic or eager to connect the dots between history and the present, these conversations will help us see how we can shape a more inclusive future — together. Please plan to attend both sessions to gain the most out of the discussion.”
Reading the book in advance is strongly encouraged. The library is ordering copies of Cycle of Segregation, which we expect to be available to borrow by the first week of August.
This is the second session of the two-part series. Registration is only available through the August 21 session. If you haven’t registered yet, please register here for Part One to join both discussions.
