Skokie Public Library has hosted a Book Discussion Group since 1959. Currently, we also have book discussions for the visually impaired and for teens. A Great Books Discussion group has met at the Library since 1957. Recognizing that there are many private book clubs in the area, we have multiple copies of discussable books available for the use of those clubs and we've compiled a list of Reading Group Favorites.
