Questions
Do I need to have finished the book?
No. Come anyway. Plenty of people arrive halfway through and still join the conversation.
How often do you meet?
Roughly every two months on a Friday evening, 7:00 to 8:30 PM, at the Centre. Dates are shared in the book club WhatsApp group.
Where can I buy the book?
Most major bookstores carry our picks. Members have also found them at Epic Books on Ottawa Street in Hamilton, and we try to support independent and local sellers where we can.
Who can join?
Any adult who enjoys reading and talking about ideas. New joiners are always welcome.
Support the Centre
Every program here is kept open by donors.
Most of what happens at the Centre is free or subsidized, and no family is turned away because of cost. Your gift pays for teachers, materials, utilities and the upkeep of the building.
