The Book Club Around the Corner
The BCATC brings members together to read and discuss a selection of titles that vary in genre (fiction & non-fiction). The club highly promotes and values Freedom of expression.
The purpose of this book club is to:
- Cultivate reading as a lifetime healthful habit.
- Expand the members’ personal literary experience by reading quality and diverse works.
- provide an open forum for members to exchange ideas and opinions by having monthly book discussions and networking with other literary organizations.
-On the long term- Sponsor a junior book club.
Activities: Book Discussions:
Every month we will brainstorm a list of 5 books, and will go with the book that acquired the highest number of votes. We can also invite the authors to answer members questions, and discuss their writing.
Story telling events:
Will host professional story tellers and folk tales narrators. Members may also present their own story telling events if they are willing to.
On the spot Round-Robin gatherings:
A monthly event, in which the moderator will prepare an undisclosed theme until he/she starts the round. The round participants then will collaborate to come out with a full story.
Book Bazar:
Club members gather in a friendly event to sell or exchange their superfluous books.

Online book discussions, book recommendations, book reviews, interesting book quotes, and announcements.
