The Evening Book Club.

The Evening Book Club is a friendly, laid-back space for readers to come together to enjoy a good story and share thoughts, laughter, and conversation.

We meet on the last Friday of each month via Zoom, making it easy to join from the comfort of home. At the end of each meeting, members help choose the book for the following month—so everyone has a voice in what we read next.

March Selection:

People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks
NLS Book Number: DB 66059

A richly layered historical novel that follows the journey of a rare manuscript across centuries and continents. Through a series of interconnected stories, the novel explores themes of faith, resilience, cultural preservation, and the power of books to connect people across time.

Discussion questions are included below. Participants are welcome to review them in advance, write down responses, or simply use them to guide conversation during the meeting.All are welcome. Bring your curiosity, your favorite beverage, and your love of books—we look forward to reading with you.
