Are you looking for a place to connect, unwind, and dive into great reads? Then the Nightstand Collective Book Club is for you! Each month, we’ll dive into engaging, thought-provoking reads that explore a vast literary landscape —discovering new genres you've always wanted to try, or revisiting old favourites that must be shared with others!Come for the books, stay for the conversation and connections — whether you’re a lifelong reader or just getting back into books, everyone is welcome! Bring your thoughts, your hot takes, and maybe even a friend.Adults and teens welcome. Drop-in program. Snacks and refreshments provided.
