Members of the UC Davis community are invited to participate in third annual Campus Community Book Project events beginning next week. The project seeks to promote a greater sense of community among students, staff, faculty and community members by creating the common experience of reading the same book. The book selection for this year is Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992, by Anna Deavere Smith, who also adapted the work to film.

Activities for the week ahead include:

• Oct. 11, the kick-off event invites members of the Davis community to share their personal stories about their experiences in Los Angeles in the aftermath of the Rodney King verdict, from noon to 2 p.m. in MUII.
• Oct. 13, During Listening: A First Step to Healing, law students will discuss the personal impact of the events surrounding the Rodney King verdict and how racism affects their lives today, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the University Club Lounge.
• Oct. 14, A book discussion with Barbara Sellers-Young, a professor of theatre and dance, from noon to 1 p.m. in Shields Library.
• Oct. 14, A Twilight film screening and discussion, 7:30 to 10 p.m. in 234 Wellman.
• Oct. 15, Origin of Bias. The event addresses why people become biased, from 2 to 5 p.m. in room 164 of the MU.

Activities for the Campus Community Book Project will continue through December. For more information about the book project, visit http://occr.ucdavis.edu/ccbp/programs.cfm.
