The Booked for Lunch Book Club is open to the entire Delta College community, including students, staff, faculty and community members. The Book Club is facilitated by Delta College Library and will be a space to read and discuss popular fiction, non-fiction and graphic novels in a relaxed atmosphere. You can attend in-person on the Delta College main campus or virtually. Attendees will need to acquire book selections on their own but all titles have many copies available through local public libraries and MeLCat. Please contact Booked for Lunch coordinator Carol Whittaker or Delta Library staff if you need assistance finding a copy of the book. You do not need to read the book to attend Book Club! I hope to leave a few minutes at each meeting to talk about books in general and to hear what you've been reading. I hope to see you at book club this year!
Please register if you plan to attend so we can plan accordingly. Zoom link will be provided in registration confirmation.
