Explore the world through the written word. This group focuses on reading a book from a different culture each month. Most books are fiction. Every effort is made to find books written by members of each culture and to represent a wide variety of perspectives from every continent. This group meets on the fourth Thursday of each month, from 6:30 - 8:00pm in the Community Room or Sibley Hall. 

All groups will meet in person during Fall 2021. However, the library WILL continue offering virtual access to all groups upon request. If you are unable to attend the group in person, contact adultprograms@gpl.org to arrange for a zoom link to attend the group virtually!
