RainbowLit: Last Night at the Telegraph Club

RainbowLit: LGBTQ+ Book Group

MONDAY, APRIL 247:00—8:30 PM, Online

Please join our new LGBTQ+ Book Club: RainbowLit. This group will meet every 4th Monday of them onth. The group is sponsored by the Library and the Belmont LGBTQ+ Alliance. We will be reading fiction, non-fiction, and sometimes poetry. We are excited about our new group; April's selection is Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo. Read on for a brief description:

Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the feeling took root—that desire to look, to move closer, to touch. Whenever it started growing, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly everything seemed possible. But America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father—despite his hard-won citizenship—Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.
