Book Talk: The Hate U Give

This year's "Peoria Reads" book is "The Hate U Give," a story about a black teenage girl whose friend is shot and killed by a white police officer.

Tim Shelley sat down with Peoria Public Library Deputy Director Roberta Kolscielski and Peoria County Sheriff Brian Asbell to talk about "The Hate U Give," and what they hope the community gets out of conversations about the book.

Listen to the full book chat on "The Hate U Give."

Book talks and other events about "The Hate U Give" are scheduled throughout the month of March. Go to peoriareads.org for more information.
