Ready for your next unforgettable read? Pick up the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel James by Percival Everett — this year’s Community Reads selection and reimagining of Mark Twain’s classic, told from Jim’s perspective.

We hope everyone in Lexington will join the conversation by diving into James, attending a book discussion, and sharing your thoughts with friends and neighbors!

📚 Already part of a book club? Visit any LPL location to borrow a discussion kit — each kit comes with 15 copies of James and 15 guides to help spark great conversation.

👀 Pro tip: James is available as an audiobook and ebook with NO WAIT TIME on Libby through October 13th. There’s never been a better time to start reading (or listening!)

This free event is open to all. Doors open at 1:30 PM. Learn more at https://events.lexpublib.org/event/17336231
