OPEN MINDS BOOK DISCUSSION

Tuesdays at 2:00 pm

215 Columbus House



CONTACT: Janet Bernhard at 386-428-6252


Open Minds is a welcoming, discussion-focused book club where everyone is invited. We read one chapter at a time, allowing plenty of space for thoughtful conversation, diverse opinions, and respectful disagreement. Our books explore a wide range of topics, and we enjoy moving on to something new after each selection. While the group leans liberal/progressive, we value hearing different perspectives and strive for thoughtful, elevated discussions where everyone feels welcome to participate.
