X-WR-CALDESC:Guilty Pleasures Book Club \n\nA Very Large Expanse of Sea by 
 Tahereh Mafi\n\nIt’s 2002\, a year after 9/11. It’s an extremely turbulent
  time politically\, but especially so for someone like Shirin\, a sixteen-
 year-old Muslim girl who’s tired of being stereotyped.\n\nShirin is never 
 surprised by how horrible people can be. She’s tired of the rude stares\, 
 the degrading comments—even the physical violence—she endures as a result 
 of her race\, her religion\, and the hijab she wears every day. So she’s b
 uilt up protective walls and refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt he
 r. Instead\, she drowns her frustrations in music and spends her afternoon
 s break-dancing with her brother.\n\nBut then she meets Ocean James. He’s 
 the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know Shirin
 . It terrifies her—they seem to come from two irreconcilable worlds—and Sh
 irin has had her guard up for so long that she’s not sure she’ll ever be a
 ble to let it down.\n\nAre you:\n•	An adult who enjoys reading Young Adult 
 novels?\n•	A parent who would like some “me time” to socialize with other a
 dults while discussing a digestible book?\n•	A parent\, guardian\, or mento
 r who wants to keep in touch with what their kids are reading (or even fin
 d some recommendations)?\n\nJoin us the 2nd Wednesday of each month for th
 e Guilty Pleasures Book Club\, where we will meet in a relaxed environment
  to chat and discuss a different YA book. This is a low-pressure\, judgeme
 nt-free book club where we encourage reading what YOU want. \n\nBooks are 
 available at the library and we will try to pick titles available in e-boo
 k/audiobook through CloudLibrary.\n\n
