Mission
Hello! If you enjoy reading and are looking for a community of book lovers, this is the place for you! We will be reading about one or two books per semester and will be meeting every other week to chat about the book. Let me know if you are interested or have questions! ocon0552@d.umn.edu

Here is the rest of the schedule for fall 2024:

We are now reading Interpreter of Maladies, by Jhumpa Lahiri! The book is nine short stories. Before our next meeting, on November 14th at 6 pm, I thought we'd start with the first one—A Temporary Matter. (If you are reading this and have not started or even have the book, still come and we'll catch you up!)

If anyone needs to update their calendars, here is the plan for the remainder of the semester:
11/14 at 6 pm in KAML 116 - A Temporary Matter
12/5 at 6 pm in KAML 116 - TBD (We'll chat about which one we want to read at the next meeting.)

We meet every other Thursday from 6 pm to 7 pm in KAML 116 starting the 5th of September.

If you're wondering what the meetings are like, usually it's just us chatting and sharing our thoughts about what we are reading at the moment. We'll do the actual reading outside of the meetings. We have a huge variety of majors and are happy to have different perspectives. Every so often, we'll partner with KAML or other UMD clubs and organize some events and this is a fantastic way to get involved on campus and meet some of our wonderful library staff.
