Rose's Book Club

Rose’s Book Club meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 2pm. The best part about this book club is there is no required reading! That means you can come ready to discuss whatever you’ve been reading, and hear the recommendations of other book club members. Rose will also feature a selection of noteworthy books!
