The Excelsior Branch Book Club will select and discuss titles in a fun and engaging environment. The Book club meets every fourth Tuesday of each month. Drop-ins are welcome.
Title Selection: Dave Eggers's Zeitoun—Once City One Book #6 (2010)
This book shares the experiences of Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a Syrian American, and his family in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, describing how he was arrested and falsely imprisoned because of his ethnicity. The plot contains profanity and violence.
Celebrate 20 years of great authors. Together, we read them all. This fall, SFPL will announce the 20th One City One Book selection, continuing a cherished tradition of bringing the community together through shared reading and discussion. To celebrate these powerful stories that have connected us over the years, we will host dedicated book clubs for each title throughout the summer—offering thoughtful conversations and a chance to reflect on two decades of collective reading. Pick up a commemorative bookmark at any SFPL location to track your progress on this literary journey. Join us in celebrating 20 years of One City One Book, and stay tuned for the exciting reveal of this year’s selection.
