2026 ReEstablish Richmond Community Book Club

Join Our Community Book Club – Now in Partnership with Libbie Mill Library!

We’re excited to read The Wrong End of the Telescope by Rabih Alameddine. The novel tells the stories of two women whose paths intertwine at the Moria refugee camp in Lesbos, Greece: Mina, a Lebanese doctor. and Sumaiya, a Syrian matriarch with terminal liver cancer. The novel is a bedazzling tapestry of both tragic and amusing portraits of indomitable spirits facing a humanitarian crisis.

We’ve joined forces with Libbie Mill Library, which is also reading this book for their book club, creating a wonderful opportunity to bring even more voices into the conversation!

📅 Date: Tuesday, April 7th
⏰ Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Location: Libbie Mill Library -- LM Meeting Room

Snacks will be provided! Participants are responsible for obtaining their own copy of the book, and we encourage you to support local bookstores like Fountain and Shelflife.

This event is free and open to all, but if you’re able, we invite you to make a donation to help ReEstablish Richmond continue offering community-building events like this.

Reserve your spot today—we can’t wait to read and reflect with you!
