BOOK CLUB GUIDELINES

  • We strive for a thoughtful and respectful discussion of the featured book and its related themes.
  • You do not have to have finished the book to participate, but we ask that you contribute to the discussion in whatever way you feel comfortable.
  • Please keep your video screen on, so that we can best mimic a "real-life" conversation. If you need to momentarily go off-camera, we understand.
  • We do not tolerate demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech.
