What you’ll get out of book club: our hope is for you to dare to dive deep, analyzing topics  and navigating the twists and turns of politics together. If you share a passion for continuous learning and want to explore the intricacies of our world’s challenges, then this club is  your intellectual haven (or entry) into finding out more. 

How it works: 

• We will announce our book list 6 months in advance in the hopes of giving our mem bers time to acquire, read, and consider the books prior to our meetings. We will start  with an initial list of books that were hand-selected by the host and other members of  the CPL leadership team. Three months into the initial list, members will propose and  select the next 3 to 6 books to be read. 
• One month before the club reads a book, we will publish a primer such as this one,  providing information about the book and the author, plus questions to consider while  reading the book. 
• At our meeting, we’ll spend about 15 minutes sharing thoughts as a group, then move  into breakout rooms for a more intimate discussion of the book and the ideas it presents. 

Where To Find the Books 

We promise that all the books we will discuss will be available online, in bookstores and  in most cases, in your local library. Most will be available in hardcopy, audiobook, and  e-book. Please consider borrowing the books from your local libraries. If you find pur chasing new copies of the books beyond your budget, we encourage you to look for used  copies, which you are likely to find online at Powell’s bookstore or on Amazon (listed below  the hardcover or paperback prices.)
