Please note that signing up for this group once will sign you up for the whole series. You do not need to register for each instance. Thank you.

This is a structured group that follows the Great Books program. Each month the group has focused discussions on a limited number of readings from the designated book. The smaller amount of reading allows the group to go more in depth with their analysis of the literature. The group generally meets the second Wednesday of the month, from 7:00 - 8:30 pm, virtually.

 For more information, email circulation@gpl.org or call the Circulation Desk at 978-448-1167.

2021/22 selections from Her Own Accord: American Women on Identity, Culture, and Community, available for borrowing from GPL or for purchase from the Great Books Foundation. Visit greatbooks.org for more information.
