During non-pandemic times, we partner with the Nashville Public Library and hold our meetings at the Richland Park Library on Charlotte Avenue on selected Saturday mornings from 10:15 to 11:30 a.m. Currently meetings are held on Zoom.
The schedule for the 2021-2022 Book Group Discussions is:
July 16, 2022: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

November 19: The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson
Currently, all meetings are held on Zoom at 10:00 CST.

We also encourage you to join us on the third Thursday of months when we don't have a book discussion for Literary Society. At 7:00pm we get together to share what we have been reading. It's a great way to discover new books.
