Attention Readers! The Smith College Club of NYC has two longstanding book clubs! They each meet once a month on a weeknight throughout the year. The books, which span all genres, are proposed and voted on by each club's members. One club meets virtually over Zoom most of the time. The other club usually meets in-person in members' homes, which limits the size of the group.
If you are interested in joining either club, please contact Joan Dilakian (joan.dilakian@gmail.com) for more information. A high level of interest, especially for the in-person club, could lead to a wait list or even the possibility of forming a third group.
💠Not a club member? Join or renew your membership here!
