Our very popular book giveaway is back this year. We'll be hiding copies across our libraries and sharing clues about where to find them on our Instagram Stories. Follow us on Instagram @uwelibrary for your chance to win a book.

About Kindred by Octavia Butler

Kindred is a cornerstone of African-American literature. It follows Dana, an African-American woman tangled up in time with a white slaveholder she needs to protect. This book uses a clever sci-fi narrative to tackle serious issues such as human rights and slavery.
