A quarterly community experience that begins with a collective book pickup and kickoff gathering. Members are paired with a small, neighborhood-based group to read, reflect, and connect.

Support your local event tote bags with name tags on a table at a community event, with a sign welcoming attendees to a move-in day at Elin Hilderbrand's book giveaway, and a copy of her book 'The Hotel Nantucket' on display.

Collective Book Pickup

Each quarter, we’ll kick things off with a community gathering where you can mingle with other book club members and collect our next read. This is also a great chance to discuss last quarter’s read with those you didn’t connect with in your group.

Neighborhood-Based Pairings

To keep things convenient, we’ll group book club members together based on neighborhood proximity. This makes it more feasible to get together and share your thoughts each quarter!
