20s & 30s Book Club

For adults in their 20s and 30s.

About the Program

Our 20s & 30s Book Club is all about keeping things easy, friendly, and fun. Come chat about books, meet other readers around your age, and enjoy a relaxed, no-pressure discussion. Snacks and drinks will be provided, and there’ll be lots of chances to swap recommendations, help choose future book club picks, and connect with fellow book lovers in your community. The group meets once a month and you’re always welcome to join for just one night or keep coming back.

This month we will be reading Maame by Jessica George.

About the Book

Smart, funny, and deeply affecting, Jessica George's Maame deals with the themes of our time with humor and poignancy: from familial duty and racism, to female pleasure, the complexity of love, and the life-saving power of friendship. Most important, it explores what it feels like to be torn between two homes and cultures―and it celebrates finally being able to find where you belong.
