We just started an online book club. Be one of the first to join!

The Leonard Lopate Show | Nov 1, 2017

We just launched our book club on Facebook, and we want you to join. This is a special community, and we created it as a place to talk about all things books. You can discuss what you are currently reading, share book recommendations, get access to some great authors and catch-up on monthly Leonard Lopate Book Club on-air segments. Our mission is to encourage meaningful conversations about books.

By joining this group you'll have access to content and conversations that won't always be on our main channels.
