The Medford Public Library’s LGBTQ+ Book Group meets at the new Charlotte & William Bloomberg Library building to discuss “Shadow Life” by Hiromi Goto, author and An Xu, illustrator. Books will be available approximately four weeks in advance. Call the library at 781-395-7950 to have a copy put on hold for you. RSVP for the book group meeting through the library’s online calendar.

Please note that this month’s meeting is on the first Thursday of the month, rather than the usual second Thursday. All are welcome to read and discuss literary and nonfiction works by and about the LGBTQ+ community, from classics to contemporary titles.
