This month's graphic novel is NEW KID by Jerry Craft
New Kid is a timely, honest graphic novel about starting over at a new school where diversity is low and the struggle to fit in is real, from award-winning author-illustrator Jerry Craft.
Seventh grader Jordan Banks loves nothing more than drawing cartoons about his life. But instead of sending him to the art school of his dreams, his parents enroll him in a prestigious private school known for its academics, where Jordan is one of the few kids of color in his entire grade.
As he makes the daily trip from his Washington Heights apartment to the upscale Riverdale Academy Day School, Jordan soon finds himself torn between two worlds—and not really fitting into either one. Can Jordan learn to navigate his new school culture while keeping his neighborhood friends and staying true to himself?

This month's graphic novel is FREESTYLE by Gale Galligan
From New York Times bestselling author Gale Galligan, a fun, high-energy graphic novel about friendship, family, and the last hurrahs of middle school.
Cory's dance crew is getting ready for a major competition. It's the last one before they graduate eighth grade and go their separate ways to high schools all over New York City, so they have to make it count! The group starts to have problems as their crew captain gets increasingly intense about nailing the routine, and things go from bad to worse when Cory's parents ground him for not taking his grades seriously. He gets stuck with a new tutor, Sunna, who he dismisses as a boring nerd… until he catches her secretly practicing cool yo-yo tricks. Cory wants to learn the art of yo-yo, and as his friendship with Sunna grows, he ends up missing practice and bailing on his crew -- and they are not happy about it. With mounting pressure coming from all sides, how is Cory supposed to balance the expectations of his parents, school, dance, and his new friend?

Who really makes history? Join authors Andy Piascik and Steve Thornton as they talk about Radical Connecticut: People’s History in the Constitution State. Learn about the stories of everyday people and well-known figures whose work has often been obscured, denigrated, or dismissed. They'll share narratives of movements, strikes, popular organizations and people in Connecticut who changed the state and the country for the better.
Unlike a traditional history that focuses on the actions of politicians, generals, and business moguls, Radical Connecticut is about workers, the poor, people of color, women, artists and others who engaged in the never-ending struggle for justice and freedom.
Bridgeport native Andy Piascik is an award-winning author who writes for many publications and websites. He is the author of three books the most recent of which, the novel In Motion, was published earlier this year by Sunshine Publishing. He can be reached at andypiascik@yahoo.com.
Steve Thornton retired in 2013 as a union organizer in Connecticut. He has been a labor educator, tenant organizer, and anti-racist activist. He has helped build coalitions for economic and social justice across the country, in Europe and the West Indies. Steve conducts walking tours and has spoken at picket lines, breweries, universities, town halls, and with people living on the streets. He is the author of four books and writes for the Shoeleather History Project.com which promotes “history from below.”

Myths are the main drivers of America’s culture wars - pitting us against each other, shaping our identity and bringing us to the brink of an existential crisis.
Richard Slotkin, widely regarded as one of the preeminent cultural critics of our time, engages in an important Conversations discussion with Dr. Daniel Barrett focusing on some foundational myths that have shaped American identity. Slotkin and Barrett will discuss how contemporary politics are heavily influenced by these myths, on both sides of the political aisle.
Slotkin’s most recent book, A Great Disorder: National Myth and the Battle for America, was published this year and longlisted for the 2024 National Book Award in Nonfiction.
Richard Slotkin is an author, cultural critic and historian who is a three-time finalist for the National Book Award. In addition to his most recent work, he is the author of Lost Battalions, a New York Times Notable Book, and an award-winning trilogy on the myth of the frontier in America–Regeneration Through Violence, The Fatal Environment, and Gunfighter Nation–as well as three historical novels: The Crater: A Novel, The Return of Henry Starr, and Abe: A Novel of the Young Lincoln. He is the Olin Professor of English and American Studies at Wesleyan University.
Dr. Daniel W. Barrett is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Western Connecticut State University. A former resident of Redding, he graduated with a BA from Wesleyan University, earned his Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Arizona State University and served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Health Communication at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.
The virtual program will be held over Zoom:
This discussion is part of the award-winning Conversations Series, created in partnership by the Redding League of Women Voters and The Mark Twain Library.
Many thanks to Mark Twain Library for providing this important series! Participating area Libraries and Leagues incude:
