LWVCM BOOK CLUB

The League of Women Voters of Charlotte Mecklenburg hosts a bi-monthly book club for its members and the general public. Meetings are held in person at local businesses, libraries or the LWVNC office. The goals of the club are to read great books, enhance our reading experiences, share our reactions and consider the reactions of others, and deepen our understanding of important cultural issues.

The book club supports a local Charlotte business (Park Road Books); readers who purchase titles here will receive a 20% discount (mention our club at checkout). Upcoming book club events are posted on the LWVCM website where interested individuals may register to attend at no cost.

Statements and opinions expressed during Book Club events, including those of the moderator(s), belong entirely to the participants, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the League of Women Voters of Charlotte Mecklenburg.

For questions about the LWVCM Book Club, send an email to goleaguego@gmail.com or call our office (704) 556-4600.

To kick off our new 2025/2026 season the book club has invited local historian Tom Hanchett to lead a discussion on his recent book, Affordable Housing in Charlotte - What One City’s History Tells Us about America's Pressing Problem.
