Community Read: Beautiful Country/Go Back to Where You Came From

May 12, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

The Penn Yan Action Coalition is proud to present its fourth annual community read, focusing on the experiences of Asian immigrants and Asian Americans. They are recommending two books to begin to capture this diverse narrative: Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang and Go Back to Where You Came From by Wajahat Ali; read either or both, and gather for a series of events between April and May.

This week, you are invited to hear from a variety of community members, including students and
entrepreneurs, who will share personal experiences from the perspective of their unique backgrounds.

Attend in person at the library or online via Zoom; either way, please register at https://tinyurl.com/3njfmkdv or call the library at 315-536-6114 for assistance.

Books are available at a special discount at Longs’ Cards & Books.
