Final Month of the Liberation Donation Drive
January marks the final month of Looker Books’ Liberation Donation Drive in its current form. Launched on January 20, 2025—Inauguration Day—the initiative was created to spotlight books, authors, and issues shaping political and community action during a pivotal time in our country and the world.
Through the end of January, Looker Books, inside the Made In Coatesville Incubator, will donate 10% of the retail price of each selected title to six chosen charities dedicated to advocating for and protecting equal rights for all. While the drive was originally intended to reflect a moment of transition and hope, the issues it highlights have only become more pressing throughout the year. Looker Books has shared plans to potentially extend the spirit of the initiative—and possibly future donations—into 2026 and beyond. More details are expected next month.
Readers are encouraged to explore the curated book list and support the Liberation Donation Drive before it concludes.
February Book Club Selection Announced
Looker Books’ February Book Club will meet on February 3 to discuss The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. The nonfiction work tells the powerful story of Henrietta Lacks, a poor Southern tobacco farmer whose cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in modern medicine, even as her name and story remained largely unknown.
Community members are invited to learn more and reserve their spot for the discussion.
