It's time to change the world! Presenting the Social Justice Book Club: a space of maximum wokeness where teens can meet like-minded peers, share ideas, plan innovative solutions, and read books.

Extinction Rebellion protests, #neveragain, smashing the patriarchy, defying binaries, and imagining brand-new systems - we know that teens want to change the world! Come out each month to discuss a different issue facing Kingston and Frontenac, Canada, or the entire Earth. You can check out a couple of titles from our monthly list of suggested on-theme reads, contribute to our KFPL Teens-Only Instagram account, and network with other teen activists and innovators.

How do you save the world? You start with information. And we're the public library.

We've got you covered. 

March's theme is "Why Is It Always Zombies?" and our meeting will focus on zombie fiction, consumerism, the Internet, and how trends in literary monsters mirror society's fears. For this month's reading suggestions, visit the Teens section of our website.
