Welcome to the webpage for the CEHD faculty & Staff Book Club. Dr. Julie Alexandrin, Tammy Gray, and Kat Schorr founded this book club in April 2009 to be an opportunity for faculty and staff to get to know one another better while discussing interesting books!
We meet once a month at Gorham House of Pizza at Noon. Please join us, even if you have not read the book! We also talk about if the book was adapted to movie form, so if you've seen the movie, that's okay too! Hope you can join us!
