Book Worms
This model is different from the typical book club in that there is no assigned, shared book. It allows each participant the opportunity to share his/her enthusiasm for recent readings.

 

We won’t have to take notes on titles that pique our interest because participants will write up a brief summary of their chosen books, to then be compiled for distribution to all.

Every 4th Wednesday from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM  

Please join us to present or simply to enjoy the book-lovers’ conversation. A 20 peso per person donation to the OLL is encouraged.
