The purpose of the Harpeth Hall Alumnae Book Club is to make connections in the alumnae community, expand members’ personal literary experience, and to come together to learn about and discuss issues and interests relevant to our community. Book genres will vary through the school year, as will the type of forum for discussion. The Alumnae Relations Office is excited to offer this opportunity for alumnae to connect and engage.
The Alumnae Book Club will meet on the last Wednesday of the month from 6:00-7:00 p.m. in the Ann Scott Carell Library lower level Board Room, with a zoom option. Click here to see the full 2024 book club list with descriptions and see below for the 2024 book club dates!
