Start A Book Club
Let the Literary Freedom Project lead an enriching experience tailored to your organization. Our weekly on-site book clubs are designed to provide enjoyable and engaging literary adventures for individuals who appreciate the magic of a good book. We'll take great care in selecting a diverse range of books that cater to various tastes and preferences—community-based organizations, wellness-centered, corporate team-building, senior centers, and educational institutions. Each book we choose promises to deliver an immersive and enjoyable experience, ensuring something for everyone.
Our weekly book club discussions are thoughtfully organized and span five weeks for each book. A trained facilitator guides these conversations, creating a comfortable and stimulating environment for all participants. Whether participants are avid readers or just looking to rediscover the joy of reading, you will find our book clubs to be the perfect setting to explore new stories and perspectives.
Writing Workshop
Add our adult writing workshops to help participants explore personal histories and cultures while building tools to hone skills that can transfer to vocational and journaling needs. Workshops also help writers build agency by teaching them various strategies for generating ideas, planning, drafting, revising, and publishing their work.
Launched in 2014 as a way to connect our Bronx neighbors to the vibrant ideas and histories found in books, our discussions reconnect personal narratives to such classics as Down These Mean Streets by Piri Thomas, The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, and When I Was Puerto Rican by Esmeralda Santiago. Discussions have also focused on newer works by Angie Cruz, Colson Whitehead, Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa, and Tarana Burke.
