WVURA Book Club


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.  We are currently meeting at the Village at Heritage Point. 

The book club is on hiatus during July and August. 

The book for September 5 is The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson.

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. 

WVURA Book Club

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.
