Black Girl in a Big Dress is a web series featuring “an African American Anglophile cosplayer in love with the Victorian Era” (See the “About” Section of the BGBD YouTube Channel). For the April meeting, Alice will facilitate a discussion about the first season, which can be viewed on Youtube:http://www.youtube.com/@BlackGirlinaBigDress. Please try to watch as much of the first season as you can so that we can have a lively conversation (it will take about 30-minutes). 

I think you will enjoy both the series and the discussion.

Join us for a discussion of works written for young adults. The discussion will be lead by Kate Jorgensen with assistance from Celia Easton. Try a young adult novel and let us know what you think of it. Here are a few websites you can visit for suggestions:
