Join us for a book club on the below dates from 3 – 4 PM in ERC 2201 meeting room (Chip & Nick’s Meeting Room). Check the details for the month to find the date and location and any changes from month to month. Light refreshments will be served as we discuss our books!
Each month we will have a theme. Bring a book that fits the theme, one you would recommend to others, or whatever you’re reading right now. Don’t worry about bringing a physical copy with you, just bring the title and author, and be ready to tell us a little bit about it.
To check out what is available on Overdrive or past circulation desk display titles, check out our Themed Book Lists! We will compile all of the recommended reads each month and add them to the appropriate section below after the meeting.
