WVURA Book Club
The WVURA Book Club will gather at 10 a.m. on the first Friday of every
month (except July and August) to discuss books they have chosen to read.

Here's a photo of the group that met on April 5, 2019 to discuss The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe. Members attend meetings as they are available. You are welcome to join us at any meeting.The Book Club held its initial meeting on October 2, 2015. At that meeting, the group agreed tentatively to read one book a month and that book would be discussed at the following meeting. Also, members would bring to each meeting ideas about what kind of books to read and possible title suggestions for future readings.
The Book Club will be unique - no pressures, no dues, no book reports to give, no discussions to lead, no grades – just camaraderie and a cup of coffee! If you would like to join the club, just come to one of the meetings. We welcome new members.
