Thoughtful Reader (TR): Trinitas Book Clubs

Trinitas sponsors two book clubs, one for parents and one for children. The purpose of the book clubs is to encourage parents and children to read and discuss classic literature. All parents and children who have an interest in classic literature are welcome and encouraged to participate. Students may read on their own, have the book read to them, or some combination of the two.

For more information or to register, please email bookclub@trinitasclassical.org.
