Virtual meeting on Zoom
Free for CAM Members. Registration required.
The Museum’s virtual book club meets via ZOOM on the first Thursday of the month beginning in October 2022 and running through June 2023. A Museum docent and staff member will participate to facilitate discussion, to allow for a flow of ideas, provide connections to the collections and history of Cape Ann, and to suggest talking points if needed. The meeting dates and the book selection for each date appear below. 2022–2023 CAM Book Club selections were chosen for their subject matter, scholarship and/or insight into the history of Cape Ann.
This program is free for CAM members. Reservations are required and are for the entirety of the October to May program.
