SUMMARY:Philosophy Book Club: Between the World and Me
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next session of Philosophy Book Club as we explore Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates\, a profound meditation on race\, identity\, and systemic power. Written as a letter to his son\, Coates’s book grapples with philosophical questions about existence\, the body\, and the legacy of racial injustice. Through a personal and philosophical lens\, he examines how history shapes the present and challenges us to confront the ideologies of race. This book offers a compelling framework for reflecting on justice\, freedom\, and the path toward transformation in a divided world. Copies of the book are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are welcome!

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: The Art Thief
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Art Thief\, a fascinating true-crime narrative by Michael Finkel. The book tells the story of Stéphane Breitwieser\, the world’s most prolific art thief\, who carried out over 200 heists across Europe. Unlike most thieves\, Breitwieser stole for the pure love of art\, keeping his treasures hidden away to admire rather than sell. With a remarkable ability to bypass security systems\, Breitwieser’s audacious heists are a captivating glimpse into the world of obsession\, crime\, and the desire to possess beauty at any cost. Copies of the book are available at the front desk\, and new members are welcome!
