Book Discussion Meetings
The book discussion group meets on the 1st Wednesday of each month, October – December and February – May. (This academic year an exception will be made in December and May when we will meet on the second Wednesday.) The location of each in-person meeting will be announced with the monthly email reminders. We will continue with the hybrid (in-person and in Zoom at the same time) meeting format that we have used since 2021-22.
In-person attendees are welcome to join the group from noon onwards. Drinks will be provided and you are welcome to bring your lunch if you wish. Participants using Zoom can join in at 12:45 p.m. Discussion of the book begins at 1:00 p.m.
