While the Athenæum inspires and embodies myriad ideas, activities, and interests, reading is its beating heart. The library’s reading groups offer the ideal opportunity to try books or authors you’ve long wanted to read or re-read, in the shared, convivial company of other intellectually curious readers and engaging, encouraging group leaders.

 
These programs run September through May/June, or for a single semester. Groups listed below are wrapping up for the season. Fall 2021/Spring 2022 reading groups will be announced this summer, and registration will open in July/August. Participation is reserved for Athenæum members. If you have any questions, please email readinggroups@provath.org.
