Tempe Public Library’s 2024-25 Reading Global book club will read fiction and non-fiction focusing on Tempe’s Sister Cities.
Each book is either written by an author from one of Tempe’s Sister Cities, or focuses on those cities, and each book club meeting will include discussions led by individuals with deep experience in the diverse and compelling histories and cultures of these communities. All book club meetings will be held at Tempe Public Library, 6:00pm-7:30pm.
