In years past, Book Clubs were formed to allow women who had been denied access to higher education a place to pursue their interests. Today, our Club members gather to share love of reading and to explore with others the transformative power of books. The WCL Book Club usually meets on the second Monday of the month from 1:00 to 300 p.m. for busy women who love to read. Selections are primarily newly released bestsellers.
