Non-fiction Book Club
Do you enjoy reading non-fiction? Then this is the book club for you.
In most book clubs, the members all read and discuss the same book at a meeting. However, when it comes to non-fiction, it is often difficult to obtain multiple copies of the same book. So, this book club uses a thematic approach instead. Each month the members read a book of their own choice about a theme that the group agreed upon at the previous meeting. Then at the book club meeting, each member talks about their book and what they learned.
The theme for May is “Flowers / Plants “ Read up on horticulture, plant events, plant news, history of flowers, etc. and join us for a thoughtful discussion.
- Next Meeting: Thursday, May 28th from 2:30 – 4:00 p.m.
- Meeting location: The Vault Room on the main level
