  • Cup of tea next to an open book / Tasse de thé à côté d'un livre ouvert

    Thursday Nov 21, 2024 at 3:00pm
    90 minutes

    Joignez-vous à d’autres amateurs de lecture afin de discuter de ce que vous avez lu récemment!

    Contrairement à un club de lecture, nous ne nous attendons pas à ce que chaque participant lise le même livre afin d’en explorer les détails. C’est plutôt une occasion de socialiser et d’obtenir de nouvelles recommandations… ou des avertissements concernant des livres (ainsi que des téléséries, films et albums) pouvant laisser à désirer!

    Nous vous encourageons à vous inscrire, mais les participants survenant le jour-même pourront se joindre à nous en fonction de notre capacité d’accueil.

    Il s'agit d'un événement se déroulant en français seulement.
