Join us for lively, intellectual, and respectful book discussions. Books are selected by the group, most often are fiction covering a wide range of topics, and have a high rating by book review sites. Discussions are led by the member who recommended the book.
We meet monthly, on the second Monday of the month from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., at the Gulf Gate Library (Get directions »). Many of the Book Club attendees lunch together at a nearby restaurant prior to the discussion. Lunch provides a great opportunity to get to know fellow NCJW members.
The books for our 2021-22 discussions have been selected, and we hope to be in person at the Gulf Gate Library for the October discussion. As the meeting approaches, we will update you. In the interest of the health and safety of all our book club members, we ask that you show proof of vaccination at our book club meetings.
We look forward to seeing you, and happy reading!

LOCATION and TIME: ZOOM 1-2:30

If you are already on the distribution list, for NCJW Book Club, you will receive all notifications and zoom links automatically. The location of future meetings (zoom or the library) will be determined on a month-to-month basis and announced prior to the meeting.
