Reading Groups

Join a Reading Group

We are working on getting reading groups going again! Watch this space for more information about how you can join with other members of the BMCC community to talk about books or just read together!

Propose a Reading Group

Do you have an idea for a reading group? We invite students, staff, and faculty to partner with the Library to start a reading group. Contact the Library by emailing library@bmcc.cuny.edu for more information.
