Chicago Public Library Discussion Groups

At the majority of branch locations, two discussions of this selection are being offered, in both September and October. The September discussion will focus on the first half of the book, and the October discussion will focus on the second half. Attendees do not have to attend both discussions and are encouraged to join in as they choose!
