For the month of February, the Hawaii State Library Book Group will discuss There There by Tommy Orange.

Appearing on multiple Best Books of the Year lists, including The New York Times Book Review, Washington Post, NPR, Time, Entertainment Weekly, and GQ, Tommy Orange’s 2018 debut novel There There tells the story of twelve Native Americans living in Oakland, California, as they converge and collide on one fateful day, unveiling a shattering portrait of an America few of us have ever seen.

The HSL Book Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Language, Literature, and History Section. Walk-ins welcome. No registration necessary. Inquires about the HSL Book Group can be directed to hslbookgroup@gmail.com or (808) 586-3499.

If you need an auxiliary aid/service or other accommodation due to a disability, please contact the library at least 7 days prior to the program date. We will make every attempt to fulfill all requests for accommodations. All programs are subject to change. For a list of upcoming library events, visit test-library.ehawaii.gov/events.
