Great Books Kansas City

Diese Gruppe ist offiziell eingeschlafen. Sowas passiert. Wenn du diese Gruppe wiederbeleben oder eine neue Gruppe zum gleichen Thema gründen willst, sieh dir diese Seite an.

This is a book discussion group that has been meeting monthly in the Kansas City area since 2004 to discuss great literature that has stood the test of time. The group is made up of individuals of different ages and sexes who wish to read Great Books of the world, with a particular focus on the Western Tradition.

We generally meet on the last Friday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Plaza Branch Library, 4801 Main Street. (There is no meeting in November and we meet on the first Friday of December.)
