The Monadnock Food Co-op (MFC) Community Book Club aims to create a space for community engagement amongst Co-op Member-Owners and the larger community through thoughtful connections. We strive to be a space that will engage and foster civil dialogue through reading and discussion.

The group typically convenes on the first Monday of every month, with exceptions for extenuating circumstances, on the Co-op Patio (weather permitting) from 6pm to 7:30pm. Together, they collaboratively choose the title for the following month.

To learn what the group has been reading since early 2022 visit, monadnockfood.coop/co-op-updates/bookclub/

In January, the group will choose poetry from a BIPOC author to read and discuss, sharing their personal experiences and reflections. In February, the group will explore The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese.
