      The Arboretum Library’s book group explores the portrayal of western North American landscape in fiction, non-fiction, drama, poetry, letters, graphic novels, etc.

      The group generally, but not always, meets the 4th Wednesday of the month in the Arboretum Library. When the weather is good and the mosquitos are less active, the group will meet outside in appropriate places in the gloriously, beautiful grounds of the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. At other times the group will meet in the Arboretum Library with social distancing and masking if desired. The group leader will decide each month whether the meeting will be in-person (in the Arboretum Library or outside on the Arboretum grounds) or on Zoom.

      The group uses a modified version of the Shared Inquiry™ method developed by the Great Books Foundation. The discussion is greatly enhanced if the chosen book of the month is read, although those who just want to listen are also welcome. Let the host know you want to listen. New participants are always welcome.

      Click here to see the questions already asked for this year’s past books and explore the books from previous years. For more information and to be added to the e-mail reminder list about the Community Book Discussion Group, contact Arboretum Librarian Emeritus Susan Eubank at Susan.Eubank@Arboretum.org. You must RSVP to Susan for the discussions you would like to attend.
