Arlington 55 Book Club: "An Immense World"

We meet to discuss an eclectic mix of fiction and nonfiction.

This book club is hosted in partnership with the Arlington's Office of Senior Adult Programs.

An experienced volunteer maintains our email list. Participants are asked to lead at least one of the discussions during the year. We welcome new members to join us in reading and discussing current literary fiction, historical fiction and some nonfiction titles.

We hope to see you there! New members are welcome!

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED. By registering, you will receive event updates.
