Book Club

Join us for lively, stimulating and educational discussions.

Usually we meet on the third Monday of the month at 10:30 AM, at the Boston Public Library, occasionally, we meet at a member's home.

Books are chosen by the group a few months in advance. For exact dates, location and the book, check the Calendar.

Don’t be shy,  just step INSIDE the Barnes & Noble bookstore at the Prudential Center, follow your nose to the café, and look for the table with laughing ladies and the IWCB sign.  The monthly coffees have been attracting a good-sized group for the last few months.  It is a great opportunity to meet up and chat.

 Sometimes, when the coffee ends at noon, a smaller group will go out to lunch or to a museum afterwards, or individuals will make plans to meet up on another day.

 

Don’t be confused:  There is a Starbucks outside the bookstore! We meet at the café INSIDE the bookstore, all the way in the back near the children’s section. 

Time: 10am to Noon – exact dates on the Calendar 

Place: Prudential’s Barnes and Noble 

How To Get There
