Actor and author George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy” is the featured read for One Book, One Coast, LA County Library’s regional reading initiative. The 2019 graphic memoir recounts the author’s childhood imprisonment at American concentration camps during World War II.

More than 140 libraries will offer free digital copies of “They Called Us Enemy” via the Libby reading application through June 6.

Time spent in U.S. Japanese internment camps formed Takei’s lifelong civil rights advocacy. He is chair emeritus and a member of the Japanese American National Museum’s Board of Trustees, and received the Order of the Rising Sun from Japan for his contributions to U.S.-Japan relations in 2004.
