Join us as we read and discuss teen literature featuring authors and characters of color. This month's title is "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry" by Mildred D. Taylor.
Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor is available as a print book, an e-book, a downloadable audiobook, an audiobook CD, a large print book, and as a Book Club Kit in The Library's collection.
Book titles are suggested by teen patrons that frequent the East 38th Street Library.
The first library to serve the neighborhood opened in 1957 as the Emerson Branch. This frame house near East 38th Street and North Emerson Avenue soon became too small to meet the neighborhood's needs, leading to the construction of a 7,500-square-foot branch at the same location in 1962. The Emerson Branch closed its doors in 2003 when the current 16,000-square-foot library opened as the East Thirty-Eighth Street Branch.
