Reading Groups
Reading Groups focus on reading mostly fiction and non-fiction books. The groups are divided into intermediate, high-intermediate, and advanced reading material. Some groups may include children. These groups meet once or twice a month. Some groups meet in person, while others use Zoom to accomodate members with young children, long commutes, and those who have relocated out of State or returned to their home country.

3. Advanced Reading Group

This group is specifically designed for women interested in reading and discussing a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction books (we typically cover the gamut!). We covering American literature and foreign literature translated into English. Given the advanced subject material, participation requires advanced English/fluency skills to fully engage. Members take turns leading the discussion for each meeting’s book/topic area. All books should also be readily available at local libraries for check-out.
Full. We cannot accept new participants at this time.
4. Monthly Advanced Reading Group
Second Thursday of the Month, 6-7:30 pm, Meets in person
This group meets once a month in person to discuss a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction books. We typically read one book a month although we might take two months, or longer, for more in-depth reads. Members help with selecting the books and leading the discussions, although not everyone is required to lead a discussion. In addition to discussing books, we enjoy sharing about our families, our cultures and our community!
Accepting new participants.
