Jane Austen Book and Movie Club
Next date: Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021, 7 p.m. (see all dates)
Reigning for over two hundred years, Jane Austen is one of the most beloved novelists of the English language. In this book club, which began as the Pride and Prejudice Book Club at the end of 2018, we will read novels and watch movies related to her work. We meet virtually on the first Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. All are welcome.
If you would like to participate in this book club, or need to place a hold on a book, please email janna.tanner@dc.gov.
