Great Books - Wednesday Afternoon

43 meetings at three-week intervals 1:30–3:00 p.m. / Board Room
 
This serious but informal group discusses anthology selections and classics from the Great Books Collection.  Occasionally, a contemporary classic is chosen for Winter or Summer.  All participant perspectives are encouraged.

Registration: Register at any time at the Customer Services Desk.  Attendees supply their own books purchased through the Great Books Foundation.  Pick up purchase information for Even Deadlier, a sequel to The Seven Deadly Sins Sampler at the Customer Services Desk.
