The WHPL Social Justice Book Group will discuss There Is No Place for Us: Working and There Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone on Wednesday, May 13, at 7pm via Zoom. Through the unforgettable stories of five Atlanta families, this landmark work of journalism exposes a new and troubling trend—the dramatic rise of the “working homeless” in cities across America. One of the New York Times and The Atlantic’s Ten Best Books of the Year, There Is No Place for Us illuminates the true magnitude, causes, and consequences of the new American homelessness—and shows that it won’t be solved until housing is treated as a fundamental human right.
All are welcome to join in for this discussion. Please email whpl_mail@clamsnet.org to receive the Zoom link. Copies of the book are available at the Library to check out and to purchase at Eight Cousins Bookstore.
