KAIA GERBER's book club has had a home online since 2020, building an audience of avid readers, book enthusiasts, friends, and fans. What started as a weekly Instagram Live evolved - in the most natural way - into a community that is able to use reading as a gateway into some important albeit difficult conversations. Over the last three years, this book club has become the catalyst for dialogue over race, sex, loss, consent, motherhood, girlhood, queerness, addiction, abuse, climate change, and intersectionality among other topics. We've covered debut fiction, short stories, translations, essays, memoirs, plays, and poetry. Moving forward, our mission is simple: get young people reading. Library Science will continue to curate books that aren't on the typical bestseller lists in order to better highlight new voices, writers to watch, overlooked, or underrepresented stories – and for greater context, we will occasionally throw in a classic that might better inform contemporary work. We'll cover writers and books from all points of view to reinforce the truth that ALL books are for everyone... and that we often learn the most from the stories that aren't our own. Thanks for being here –– we're so excited to keep reading with you.
