As part of One Book, One Coast, you are invited to join us for a live virtual event with George Takei. He will be discussing his book They Called Us Enemy, in conversation with LA County Librarian and Director Dr. Skye Patrick, and Long Beach Public Library Director Cathy de Leon. They will talk about the experiences that led to the creation of his memoir, what it means to be a good neighbor and citizen in the face of overwhelming challenges, and how shared books and stories build stronger communities.
You can join us for a live watch party in the Bromley Room, or register to watch the free event from home via Zoom. (The number of participants for the Zoom event is limited, but if it’s full you’ll get a link to watch it on YouTube instead.)
