About the Program
Is there a book that impacted you that you think others would benefit from reading? In this program, we'll bring in our personal copies of a book that is meaningful to us (but we are willing to part with), and discuss why we loved it and why others should read it, with a “show and tell” segment. Then, we’ll swap our favourite “must read” and other favourites with one another.
