We meet to discuss an eclectic mix of fiction and nonfiction.

This book club is hosted in partnership with the Arlington's Office of Senior Adult Programs.

We are led by an experienced volunteer. We welcome new members to join us in reading and discussing current literary fiction, historical fiction and some nonfiction titles.

We have shifted to meeting fully in person in the Bluemont Room at Central Library. We continue to meet on the first Friday of the month. We hope to see you there! New members are welcome!

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED. By registering, you will receive event updates.
