Do you love to read? Are you passionate about botany, natural history, sustainability and similar topics? Then, you’ll love the BRIT Reads Book Club! This informal group meets every other month to discuss a chosen book, in-person and virtually.  We begin with a moderator summarizing the book and reviewing its key points.  Then there is an opportunity for discussion—all are encouraged to share their perspectives and thoughts.  You will leave with new information, new perspectives and new connections to others with shared interests. Don’t have time to read the book? No worries! Join us to hear the review and jump in on the discussion! 

Third Mondays, Every Other Month (12:00-1:00pm) See below for specific dates and titles. 

Registration closes the Thursday before each meeting.

Materials: Bring a copy of the book if you have it, your lunch and a friend!
