"A book is the only place in which you can examie a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear that it will go off in your face...It is one of the few havens remaining where [your] mind can get both provocation and privacy."
— Edward P. Morgan
St. Michael's Book Club is open to all interested readers and meets once each month in St. Michael's Library at 7:30 in the evening. Book selections come from a wide variety of literary genres and offer a wonderful way to explore several authors through fellowship and discussion led by a different individual each month.
