If you love reading and discussing young adult literature, come visit our Talking Books session in April! We will be discussing We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds.

The story follows queer and biracial Avery as she travels back to Bardell County, Georgia with her parents to help care for her terminally ill grandmother. As she spends time there, she learns of many buried secrets, both the town’s and her family’s. In the 2023 Winner of the Coretta Scott King – John Steptoe Award for New Talent, Hammonds tells a complex story of mystery, romance, and a town’s racist history.
