World Literature
Wednesday, Aug 12 | 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm
World Literature is a member-led Book Group. A programs team member is on hand to make announcements and support the group.
We meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. Book selections are chosen through a nomination process involving members every six months, and meeting dates around holidays are subject to change. Our hybrid meetings take place in the 4th Floor Board Room at Mechanics' Institute and virtually on Zoom.
