Hidden Histories Book Club

At 10 am every third Thursday of the month, we’ll dive into a hidden piece of history. This book club focuses on the everyday people that don’t make it into the history textbooks and explores their impact on the world.  

Book discussions are in-person and do not require registration. Copies of all book discussion books are available at the Adult Services Desk, starting approximately one month prior to the discussion date. Ebooks and audiobooks are available via OverDrive/Libby and Hoopla. Questions? Email RSVP@orlandparklibrary.org or call (708) 428-5150.
