Book Club (Online)

Gather with other book lovers to discuss a book chosen a couple of months before a meeting. The group typically meets the last Wednesday of each month. Our Book Club is a warm and dynamic group of people who meet once a month to share and discuss good reads, expand their perspectives, and get to know one another through lively discussion. All are welcome!

February’s book of choice is the fiction, Once We Were Home, by Jennifer Rosner (lives of children hidden during WWII, once the war ended and they needed to go on with their lives)

Dates: Tuesdays, September 26, October 31, November 28, December 19, January 30, February 27, March 26, April 23, May 28, June 25 (see the reading list below)
