HMC Bookmobile
Looking for some meaningful summer reading on issues of race and racial justice? Our church library has books for a number of reading levels. Browse through and email Matthew T (matthew.thiessen at mcmaster.ca), who is organizing an HMC bookmobile this summer, if you want one or more of the books! And if you have books that you are willing to share on this important topic, let us know and we’ll add it to the bookmobile! **Updated August 28
