Join the Louisville History Book Club!

This book club is a little different than your average book club in that the members can read any book they wish on the topic, rather than everyone reading the same book. The topics are voted on by the members at the end of the season, for the new season. The focus is on the history of Louisville, Colorado and the West. It makes for a very interesting and informative meeting. 

The Louisville History Book Club meets monthly September - May, every 4th Tuesday of the month from 6:00 - 7:30pm at the Louisville Public Library in the 2nd floor Boardroom. The meeting is also on Zoom for those that cannot attend in person. A reminder email is sent to the members prior to the meeting with the Zoom link. Members of the public are welcome to join us, and newcomers should feel free to come and observe.

To join, please contact Anne Robinson at AnneRLouisville@gmail.com
