Overbooked Book Club

UIS Connections Wed, 08/20/2025 - 05:50

UIS Library is starting a no-stress book club! We know that as students it's hard to find time to read for fun. For this book club, you can read as much or as little as you want. Each meeting will have a different theme that you can read for, or you can talk about something you've read in the past. The theme for our September meeting is "Your Favorite Book."

For more information, fill out our Google form.
