The Unlimited Book Club is a joint venture of the Coos History Museum, Coos Bay Library, and North Bend Library. We formed to encourage awareness and foster community discussions on equity, diversity, and inclusion through reading and thoughtful conversation.
We meet each month on the 2nd Thursday at 6:00 PM. Our next meeting will be on October 8th and we will be discussing the book: When They Call You a Terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele.
