Take Part in Reading Campaign in January 2016
Dear everyone,
This winter join US Campaign member group Librarians and Archivists with Palestine for an exciting international reading campaign: One Book, Many Communities: Sharon and My Mother-in-Law.
The project draws inspiration from the “one book, one town”
idea—wherein people in local communities come together
to read and discuss a common book. Librarians
and Archivists with Palestine (LAP) invites readers, librarians, and others to organize gatherings in
January 2016 to discuss Sharon and My Mother-in-Law,
the acclaimed memoir by Palestinian author and
architect Suad Amiry.

Amiry writes with humor and insight about the realities of
life under occupation. From falling in love across borders to
dealing with deliberately inscrutable Israeli policies, Amiry
will have you laughing and crying in the same breath. LAP’s
“One Book, Many Communities” campaign is designed to
introduce readers to the richness of Palestinian literature
and create a broader awareness and understanding of
Palestinian history and the struggle for self-determination.
