Queer Reads is a monthly adult book club (18+) celebrating the diverse voices of queer authors, characters, stories and joy. Join us each month as we celebrate queer storytelling and foster the discovery of new ideas and unfamiliar lived-experiences. Queer Reads meets on the Third Wednesday of every month. Hosted by Nevada County Library Staff.

For April, we will be reading Aristotle and Dante discover the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenez. It is a coming-of-age young adult novel by American author Benjamin Alire Sáenz and was first published February 21, 2012. Set in El Paso, Texas in 1987, the novel follows two Mexican-American teenagers, Aristotle "Ari" Mendoza and Dante Quintana, their friendship, and their struggles with racial and ethnic identity, sexuality, and family relationships.

Copies of the next month's book are available on a first-come first-served basis at all Queer Reads meetings and at the Nevada County Library, just ask at the desk.
