Kaia Gerber is making waves with her online book club, Library Science. This platform encourages young people to dive into literature.
Started in 2020, Kaia teamed up with her friend Alyssa Reeder to share book recommendations. Now, they curate a collection of unique reads that often slip under the radar, aiming to highlight fresh voices and lesser-known stories. They sprinkle in a few classics to provide context to contemporary works.
Library Science features books by popular authors like Laura Dern and Emily Ratajkowski, as well as emerging writers such as Kaveh Akbar and Gabriel Smith. They host discussions with these authors, and you can check out their interviews on YouTube. You can also follow their vibrant community on Instagram.
Library Science believes in embracing diverse perspectives. They state, “We often learn the most from stories that aren’t our own.” This approach makes literature accessible and relatable to everyone.
Looking ahead, the club has an exciting lineup of books planned for 2025. The first pick of the year is ‘The Wickedest’ by Caleb Femi. This poetic exploration captures the essence of the longest-running house party in South London through sonnets, text messages, and photos. According to Library Science, it’s a read that will leave you feeling exhilarated.
