EVPL North Park

Meeting Room

Our book selections include a range of fiction and non-fiction literature. Please join us for reading and discussion. Sharing ideas about what we read widens our perspective and enriches our reading.

We meet in the meeting room at EVPL North Park on the last Thursday of each month, from 2-3 pm.  Those who gather between 130 and 2 may enjoy general conversation before we begin discussion of our reading at 2.

We will endeavor to keep social distance around the table, and speak loudly so all can hear. Still, masks are appreciated, though not required.

Our Winter schedule:

Tuesday, Dec 28     Christmas Bells, by Jennifer Chiaverini

Tuesday, Jan 25      Giovanni's Room, by James Baldwin

Tuesday, Feb 22      Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
