✨The Readers’ Collective: General Fiction Book Club✨

Looking for a relaxed way to discover new books and connect with other readers? Join the Readers’ Collective at the Alice B. Donahue Library & Archives!

The Readers’ Collective is a casual, commitment-free general fiction book club for readers of all kinds. Each month, we choose a new title, giving members the opportunity to discover new authors, explore different stories, and experience a variety of literary styles.

Whether you’re a longtime book-club member, an occasional reader, or simply curious about the book, everyone is welcome.

No registration and no long-term commitment required!

🌾 September’s Pick: The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah

Set during the Great Depression, The Four Winds is a powerful story of resilience, family, courage, and the search for a better life during one of the most difficult periods in American history.
