Tonight at the Towson Branch at 6:30 p.m. in the Towson Room.

New York Times labor reporter Noam Scheiber talks about his new book, Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class, in conversation with journalist Alec MacGillis.

In recent years, young college graduates have faced an alarming reality: crushing debt, unemployment and jobs below their qualifications. They are frustrated that the time and money they invested in a degree have failed to bring about the opportunities they were promised. With striking empathy, Scheiber paints a vivid portrait of this new working class while telling the dramatic story of its revolt against the status quo.

Noam Scheiber has covered labor and the workplace for more than a decade at The New York Times. Veteran journalist and author Alec MacGillis is a senior reporter for ProPublica and an editor-at-large for The Baltimore Banner. Book sales and signings available following the program.

Like a beacon shining brightly in our community, Baltimore County Public Library helps guide people of all ages toward opportunity, discovery and connection.

This summer, our branches and mobile fleet will serve as welcoming destinations for thousands of children, teens, adults and families. From the Summer Reading Challenge and free lunches that help fill the gap while school is out, to 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten and engaging programs for adults that inspire lifelong learning, the library illuminates pathways to knowledge, growth and belonging.

As we approach the end of our fiscal year, we're asking for your help to keep that light burning brightly. Your support helps fund programs and resources that encourage literacy, spark curiosity and create opportunities for everyone throughout the summer and beyond.

Together, we can ensure that the library remains a beacon of learning, hope and possibility for our community.

Help us finish our fiscal year strong and make a gift today. https://dub.sh/donate-bcpl
