Adult Book Discussions
Are you interested in reading and discussing books of current interest, not only on a regional but also a national and international level? Looking to read upcoming authors new to the literary scene and literary prize winning works? Join us at our Adult Books Discussions held at numerous locations throughout the city. We offer a variety of selections and authors from classics to recent bestsellers, both fiction and nonfiction.
Have you recently moved to Chicago or learned a new language and would like to participate in one of our World Language Discussion groups? The Library hosts discussions in a variety of languages. Besides English, book discussions are offered in Chinese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese languages.
