You can sign up here or keep reading to learn more.
How it works
The book club will connect through a private online forum where people can discuss the current book and network with each other. The group will spend two months on each book, so you'll have plenty of time to read. You can sign up and learn more here.
For future book recommendations, we will ask for your suggestions and possibly bring in alumni, faculty, and parent authors and discussion moderators.
Why should you join?
There are three main reasons why we hope you'll be excited to participate in our book club:
- Connect with fellow Crystal folks
- Be a part of a lifelong learning community
- Reading is good for you!
PBC Guru will manage the book club. PBC Guru manages professional book clubs for companies and alumni associations and will be moderating the group to help make this program a great experience for all participants. Please email them at info@pbc.guru with any questions or visit their website at http://www.pbc.guru to see more of what they do.
