The Aurora Branch of AAUW-IL presents Books by Night, a study group inspired by the National AAUW’s ˇAdelante! Book of the Month Club. The Books by Night is a fun, social way to open a dialogue on women, diversity, and change. Members enjoy exploring new ideas and perspectives through group discussions of the monthly reading selection. Books by Night bases most book selections on the ˇAdelante! Book Club’s book list assembled by the AAUW Association. Discussions are typically held the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. For more information contact Mary Bernard. Watch the calendar for updates. Email for directions to meeting locations.
