Narrative Non-Fiction Book Group

Narrative Nonfiction Book Club Spring - Summer 2024 Book Picks

Consider this your invitation to read and discuss narrative nonfiction! We will be reading across the genres of nonfiction, from history to adventure, memoir/biography, and beyond with books that read like a novel. You can view past book group selections here.

We meet on the 1st Thursday of every month from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The group will meet in the Hermann meeting room and for those who wish to join us from home, you can join us via Zoom. The Zoom link will be provided upon registration. To register, click on the date you wish to attend and fill out the registration form.
