ABOUT THE GOLD HOUSE BOOK CLUB

Gold Records celebrate and codify the API culture through programs that strengthen generational bonds, enshrine our legacy, and shape the narrative of our future.

The first Gold Record is the Gold House Book Club. After a successful pilot event with The Joy Luck Club, Gold House formalized the Book Club as a series of curated book lists and virtual events to help APIs better understand our identity, experience, and culture in today’s political and social climate. Book Club Reading Lists will be published every six months with related programming on the Gold House website as well as social media channels. A selection of children’s books will also be featured to share diverse stories with young audiences during their critical stages of development.
