NEW DATE! | CBI Book Club with Author Elizabeth Graver

Virtual Event (Zoom)
Our next meeting of the CBI Book Club will take place over Zoom on Thursday, January 29 (NEW DATE!) at 7:30pm (EST).

Come talk about Kantika with author Elizabeth Graver and her mother, Suzanne Levy Graver, who leads CBI's book club and whose childhood is part of this story. This online event is free and open to the public.
