WHO WE ARE
Alumni. Alumnae. Family & friends from W&M. Olde guard & recent grads. We represent a spectrum of majors & degrees. Generally reading one of the two books we’ve selected, but not always. Some of us are “regulars” who attend monthly & some of us are drop-ins who join for an intriguing title. Some of us stop in just to hear the “book talk” and end up reading the title later. Or not. What matters most is that we gather to learn the way we used to when we walked the bricks on campus.
