Open to ages 12 and older. Sign up on EZFacility. Participation is capped at 25 people.

Two Books, One Club – Two Books, One Club is based on the popular One Book, One City program that encourages members of a city to read the same book at the same time and then discuss it in groups and literary events. Two Books, One Club aims to build connection, conversation, and community through the discussion of a common book. Members are encouraged to read the book of their choosing and discuss by the pool or on the court over the summer. Book discussion meeting dates to be announced at a later time.
There will be 2 book selections for each month of the summer: a literary selection and a steamy selection. June’s books: The Bee Sting by Paul Murray and Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score.
Sponsored by Sarah Bishop, Josh Levine, Brian McVety, and Evelyn Pratt.
