In partnership with NEA Big Read with the City of Charleston, you're invited to join CCPL librarians for discussions of Zora Neale Hurston's classic novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God." With haunting sympathy and piercing immediacy, Their Eyes Were Watching God tells the tale of Janie Crawford, whose quest for identity takes her on a journey during which she learns what love is, experiences life’s joys and sorrows, and comes home to herself in peace. Free copies of the book will be available at select CCPL locations.
