Get Lit book club

Dubbed “a social cure for your average book club,” this 21 and over book club focuses on edgy, irreverent and contemporary titles. Each month members will meet at a cafe or bar to discuss the books over a latte or cocktail. The May 18 meeting will take place via Zoom — BYOB — at 7 p.m. “Outlawed” by Anna North will be up for discussion.
