This article will provide insight into academic library outreach collaborations between two neighboring institutions. Before and during the pandemic a series of events were planned exploring The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. A virtual film discussion complete with a keynote speaker and intentional breakout rooms, each with a facilitator, for discussions was successfully executed with the help of over 25 faculty and staff from both colleges.
