GUIDELINES
Club Participants: The League of Women Voters of Roselle/Bloomingdale Book and Film Club is open to our members - and non-members. So plan to join us and bring a friend. Our Club is an easy way for members of the community to meet some of our League members and see what we are all about!
Meeting Schedule: Once per quarter. We will offer both a Zoom and an in-person event.
Reading Preferences: We read fiction and non-fiction books that we believe will open our minds, generate discussion, and empower us to help make the world a better place. We also focus on books that allow our members to advance their understanding of public affairs, including political, social, economic, environmental, and other societal issues. We favor titles that also have a film or documentary counterpart to allow for a broader participation.
