Books & Beyond: Author Study of Georgette Heyer
2026-08-25 18:30 - 20:00
While undergoing renovations, O’Neal Library will be holding Books & Beyond at the Levite JCC! All Levite JCC members and non-members are invited to join. More about Books & Beyond:
In Books & Beyond (BAB), we talk about topics rather than all reading one book and following discussion questions. Pick any book, audiobook, or movie that you’d like to try, within the topic, and come tell us about it!
If you have a hard time choosing, there is always a selection on the library’s Shelf Care webpage (click here to visit). BAB meets hybridly, with Zoom available if needed. The Zoom meeting will open at 6:20pm. If no one has joined the Zoom by 6:45, the meeting will be closed at that time to avoid distraction during the meeting. BAB meets the last Tuesday of each month* at 6:30pm. (*unless otherwise noted)
