The Edendale Branch of Los Angeles Public Library, located in Echo Park, recently wrapped up their 2019 Book to Action series which explored the themes of mass incarceration and re-entry. The library selected The Mars Room by Rachel Kushner and worked with A New Way of Life Re-Entry Project as their main community partner. Below is a short clip and the complete video of one event in their Book to Action series: An Evening with Father Greg Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries. Librarian Angi Brzycki explains the Book to Action civic engagement activity at the 1:50 mark, but both the short clip and full video are highly recommended viewing.
