The Great Book Club

New members welcome! This club encourages readers to get to know those famous books they may have heard of but never read—at least, not since high school. We read fiction with major cultural significance, either “classics” or books that have won major prizes.  They meet in-person or zia Zoom on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m..

Contact Elaine Childs at elaine.childs@leaguecitytx.gov to register
