OFL has launched a new online book club, bringing together readers interested in discovering and discussing diverse literature. New titles each month will feature authors writing from their personal experiences in a marginalized group and encourage readers to gain a better understanding of the world around them.

New members welcome each month.  No obligation - participants may join in or opt out of any club meeting and discussions.
