Event Details

The Joshua Hyde Public Library is pleased to announce that we are a Great Reads MA 2025 participating partner! This year’s featured book is Stamped from the Beginning: A Graphic History of Racist Ideas in America by Ibram X. Kendi, adapted and illustrated by Joel Christian Gill. 

Each registrant will receive a free copy of the book courtesy of the Massachusetts Center for the Book; these can be picked up any time at the front desk of the library.

Our first book discussion will be on Thursday, September 18 at 6PM and will cover Parts 1-3 of the book.

We will then take part in a live Zoom Q&A with illustrator Joel Christian Gill and libraries across the state on Thursday, September 25 at 6PM.

Our second book discussion will be held on Thursday, October 2 at 6:45PM and will cover Parts 4-5 of the book.
