The Hidden Chapter Book Club gathers monthly to read, sip, and discover. January meeting will discuss Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman and explore a former MPD evidence room on the 4th floor.

Tucked away in a cozy corner of the library, The Hidden Chapter Book Club gathers once a month to read, sip, and discover. We’ll discuss a new book each month and explore historic library spaces and collections overlooked by the everyday visitor.

Limited copies of each title will be available for checkout at the Wisconsin Avenue circulation desk in the month leading up to the meeting.

Meet up in the Old Board Room, first floor Rotunda, bookseller corridor, last door on the right. 

January meeting will discuss Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, explore true crime library resources, and tour a former MPD homicide evidence room on the 4th floor.
