A safe space to discuss books about LGBTQ+ and BIPOC experiences and more.

This month we will discuss San Antonio author Jonny Garza Villa's Ander and Santi Were Here.

Summary:
Nonbinary teen Ander is ready to leave their family's taquería and focus on their art, but when Santi, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, begins to work at the restaurant, the two teens spark a romance made complicated by immigration police.

Looking for a fun and inclusive space to talk about books that explore LGBTQ+ and BIPOC experiences--and more? Join us for lively discussion and optional written reflection (even if you haven't read the book!).
