Dear all,

Today, Butler Library celebrates the 2nd birthday of the Book Club.

Two years ago, we began this journey under the name “Seeking the Unknown.” Since then, it has grown into three vibrant circles: the Novel Club, Philosophy Club, and Movie Club.

We warmly invite you to join us in remembering and celebrating this meaningful journey. Our very first meeting was held on 20 April 2024, and today marks how far we have come together.

This day is also special as it is the last day of Br. Joseph and Br. Peter with the Book Club before they begin a new chapter in their journey. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and presence.

Thank you all for being part of this community.
