Join us for an engaging discussion of the graphic novel memoir, They Called Us Enemy by George Takei. This book discussion is part of the One Book, One Coast community reading program.

One Book, One Coast brings together library systems across California, Washington State, and Oregon for a shared community reading program that celebrates literacy, learning, community, and civil discourse. All participating libraries will read and discuss They Called Us Enemy by George Takei. Please see our events calendar for book discussions and livestreams during May. Physical copies of the book available to borrow and unlimited digital copies of the eBook in English and Spanish available from April 1 through June 6 on the Libby app by Overdrive. Giveaway copies are available while supplies last, with generous support from the Pierce County Library Foundation. Please see the Library Help Desk for giveaway copies. 

They Called Us Enemy is a graphic memoir recounting actor/author/activist George Takei’s childhood imprisoned within American concentration camps during World War II. Confronting questions of patriotism, family, loyalty, and community, George’s work is a stunning examination of what it means to be American, both long ago and today.
