Delve into the timeless works of renowned authors!
Join us for an enriching journey through literary history at the Read the Classics Book Club, hosted at the Trenton Branch every last Thursday of the month at 6:00pm (excluding July, August, and December). Immerse yourself in the timeless treasures of literature as we explore the works of renowned authors and delve into the depths of classic novels.
Our book club provides a welcoming space for avid readers and literary enthusiasts to come together and discuss iconic literary masterpieces. Whether you’re passionate about Victorian novels, intrigued by the existential ponderings of the modernist era, or captivated by the timeless wisdom of ancient texts, there’s something for everyone to discover and appreciate.
Each month, we select a new classic novel to explore, ranging from beloved favorites to hidden gems waiting to be uncovered. From Austen to Dickens, Tolstoy to Woolf, our diverse selection ensures a rich and varied reading experience that will spark stimulating conversations and insights.
Books may be picked up at the Welcome Desk at the Trenton Branch.
