Owing to its long history, leadership, and talented members, the Club continues to serve the city as an active hub of book activity and creative collaboration. With guest speaker, Paul J. Erickson, Director, Clements Library, University of Michigan, the Book Club of Detroit will raise a glass this December at its 65th annual meeting and holiday luncheon to honor this achievement.
