Comics & Coffee: Graphic Novel Book Club

Bitter Root Volume 1: Family Business

Enjoy coffee and treats while discussing comics, manga, and graphic novels. This month's title: "Bitter Root Volume 1: Family Business". Instant copies available through Hoopla. For adults only.

Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.376.2927.

In the 1920s, the Harlem Renaissance is in full swing, and only the Sangerye Family, once known as the greatest monster hunters of all time, can save New York--and the world--from the supernatural forces threatening to destroy humanity.

But those days are fading and the once-great family that specialized in curing the souls of those infected by racism and hate has been torn apart by tragedies and conflicting moral codes. A terrible tragedy has claimed most of the family, leaving the surviving cousins divided between by the desire to cure monsters or to kill them; they must heal the wounds of the past and move beyond their differences...or sit back and watch a force of unimaginable evil ravage the human race.

Instant unlimited copies available through Hoopla.

Limited print copies available through the library catalog.

Comics and Coffee will be held the third Saturday of the month unless otherwise posted.

About the branch

Highland Square is one of Akron’s most iconic communities, hosting numerous street fairs and festivals, eclectic shopping and dining, and a vibrant night life. The extremely diverse neighborhood is home to seniors, young families, artists, educators, and students of all demographics. The Highland Square Branch Library is a reflection of this diverse neighborhood, with a standout LGBTQ collection and a rich programming schedule.

Reference assistance, computers and computer classes, WiFi, copiers, scanning, and faxing round out the services provided within the library. The full scope of community participation, however, is seen in local senior care facilities, local schools and preschools, and neighborhood festivals where Highland Square Branch Library staff plays an active role in creating experiences for participants of all ages. Visit us soon on the Square.
