Book Clubs and Community Partnerships
The program actively collaborates with local book clubs and community organizations to expand its reach and impact. By partnering with existing book clubs, the program provides a platform for these clubs to explore the chosen book and participate in the program’s discussions and activities.
Community partnerships also extend to organizations that promote literacy, such as libraries, schools, and nonprofit organizations. These collaborations aim to foster a love for reading, enhance access to books, and create opportunities for individuals who may not be directly affiliated with the university to participate in the program.
