We are always looking to create opportunities to facilitate dialogue. What better way than with a book?
Each month C2O Book Club will traverse a work of non-fiction and open it up for discussion IRL (In Real Life) and on twitter.
We’ll update this page each month on this page with the book we are reading.
Sign up below and we will send you the information on current meet ups and if any author events that may be occurring in your area.
