Muslim Journeys Book Discussion and More This Week

Your preview of key events and occasions happening this week in Orland Park and Palos.

The Orland Park Public Library is exploring various facets of Islamic culture, history and heritage through a grant-funded effort called the Bridging Cultures Bookshelf.

The next program held 7 p.m. Monday will focus on the book “Minaret” by Leila Aboulela.

The story centers around a young Muslim woman who grows up secular, only to embrace a more orthodox belief in the religion, as she goes from a university educated life to working as a maid.
