Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is an autobiographical graphic novel that depicts the author's childhood and coming-of-age in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. This community gathering offers a structured space to share perspectives on the book's themes of family, identity, and political change under the guidance of a local librarian. If you plan to attend, you can pick up a physical copy of the book ahead of time at the branch. The discussion is best suited for adults and parents of high schoolers, as the book contains mature historical themes. Admission is entirely free, and parking is available in the library's main lot. You only need to bring your thoughts on the book and perhaps a notebook if you like to jot down ideas. Taking an hour for yourself on a Monday evening is a smart way to ease into the week. It gives you a chance to engage in intellectually stimulating conversation with other local adults, offering a refreshing break from the usual school-night routine.
