The Library System’s first ever One Book, One Read program will begin with Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson. The book’s core resides in comparisons between the caste system in India, the American race system, and the rise of the Third Reich in Germany. It also examines the current state of race politics as well as its harrowing history.

The 2022 One Book, One Read program will kick off in January with the goal of engaging community members to host book clubs across the County. Additionally, many of Fulton’s 34 libraries will host book clubs around Caste.

The culminating book club will be a lecture by Isabel Wilkerson at the Auburn Avenue Research Library on March 27th at 3PM. The event is free. Please secure your tickets here.
