NEW SUMMER MAGAZINE SHIPMENTS! New magazines and journals have just  
arrived this past week. Come check out our new collection!

JESSIE SAYS: From astounding imagery to poetic verses, Beloved boasts  
it all. This novel will transport the reader into the late 1800’s  
where one will delve into the minds of ex-slaves. Toni Morrison frees  
herself from the traditional slave narrative and speaks instead of the  
psychological effects of slavery. She weaves an intriguing tale full  
of suspense and profound emotion. Her characters are believable yet  
unusual enough so that one can understand the full effects of slavery.  
Her tale includes a mysterious ghost but she introduces it in a  
convincing manner. Readers will continue turning pages in anticipation  
of what will unfold next. No one will regret reading this magical and  
impressionable novel.



WEDNESDAY 27 JUNE @ 7PM
HIJAS AMERICANAS by Rosie Molinary
Young Latinas grow up dealing with two, often conflicting, sets of  
expectations about how they should look, how they should act and how  
they should dream, points out Molinary, a poet, teacher and  
first-generation Latina born to Puerto-Rican parents, in this study.  
Drawing on the responses of more than 500 women who answered an  
extensive survey, Molinary lays out the most pressing tensions and  
obstacles for Latinas around issues like body image, religion and  
sexuality. In chapters titled Turning Gringa and How Latina Are You?  
she weaves together her own stories with the anecdotes of her survey  
respondents.

SATURDAY 30 JUNE @ 6PM
FILM FESTIVAL: THE EDUCATION OF SHELBY KNOX
Join us for our first in a series of films that will continue  
throughout the summer months. The first film, The Education of Shelby  
Knox, is about the failures of sex education in the public school  
system. Join us to have your say in future films!

SATURDAY 14 JULY @ 7PM
COMING OUT COMING ALIVE by Grace Lawson
Grace Lawson will be here to discuss how she, after being in a  
conservative Christian marriage, came out as a lesbian and has since  
found a partner, love, and happiness. She now wants to help out as  
well as hear your successful (and maybe not so successful) coming-out  
stories. Join us as she discusses ways to maintain positivity in rough  
times, and help her collect positive stories of queer successes.

SATURDAY 21 JULY @ 7PM
VOYEURISTIC REGIME: Surveillance and Countersurveillance Ethics/Praxis
Join us for a discussion group about the politics of surveillance. We

well as the various possibilities for the group’s future. This  
discussion group is open to everyone. If you missed the first meeting,

WEDNESDAY 25 JULY @ 7PM
THIS IS MY HOME by Adam Rust
Rust tells the stories of North Carolinians in manufactured, low-cost  
housing. These low-income families describe the successes of the  
manufactured housing program in eastern North Carolina, and the author  
will discuss how this program can help overcome the failures of other  
housing programs. It will serve as a solution, an asset in combating  
our nation’s affordable housing crisis.
