Save your seat in the Emily Dickinson Museum’s brand new No Frigate Like A Book Club! In this monthly Zoom-based series, you’ll join fellow enthusiastic readers in discussion of novels inspired by the life of Emily Dickinson. Each month we’ll facilitate exciting conversations using discussion frameworks, followed by a meet and greet with the author! The Club is capped at 30 participants, and break-out rooms will be utilized for a portion of each session to hold smaller group conversations.
Participant expectations:
- Be prepared to read one book per month in advance of sessions in October, November, and December. Club members should plan to attend all sessions.
- Be an active member of the Club, lending your voice to the friendly discussions.
- Have access to a computer, tablet, or mobile device that allows for use of audio and video in our web-based conference call. The Book Club experience will be best when all participants keep their videos on.
- Computer-generated closed captioning will be available during all sessions.
- All formats of the books in the series are fine to use, including library loans, used editions, e-readers, etc.
