Coming Together in Skokie
January through March 2010
Skokie Public Library, Niles Township High Schools, and the Village of Skokie welcome everyone to participate in an exciting new program—Coming Together in Skokie—to build knowledge, awareness, and appreciation of our different backgrounds, and to weave us all into the vibrant tapestry that is Skokie. Each year we will highlight a different culture in our community. Our first annual Coming Together in Skokie features the Asian Indian population. As a starting point to explore Indian culture, we have chosen a book, Motherland, by Indian author Vineeta Vijayaraghavan. The book explores an eventful summer for a young person who experiences the pull of two cultures and comes to appreciate both, while also gaining an understanding of older generations and the meaning of “home.”
