Overview

The Stillwater Public Library and OSU Professor Sarah Foss have partnered to offer a new community book discussion that reads and discusses different cultures and social issues of the Americas. On Tuesday, April 18, community members are invited to discuss Javier Zamora’s best-selling book “Solito: A Memoir.” Zamora, a Salvadoran American, details his experiences migrating to the U.S. as a 9-year-old, capturing the challenges in the journey along with the friendships he formed along the way. A limited number of copies of the book are available to borrow from the Adult Help Desk at the Stillwater Public Library. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the book, learn about the history of Central America through conversation and think about how memoirs can provide personalized accounts of larger social issues. Additionally, participants are encouraged to bring a prepared dish from a region featured in the book to share with the group.
