Book Club
The Book Club is a collaborative effort between the Thomas G. Carpenter Library and the Center for Professional Development & Training and is open to all UNF employees, including OPS and Student Assistants. The Book Club provides employees an opportunity to network with colleagues from other departments and to grow personally and professionally by reading, sharing, and leading discussions. Each term, Book Club members read a book and discuss it during a lunchtime meeting. Meetings are held from noon to 1 p.m. in the Library Conference Room, Building 12, Room 2400. Join us for an opportunity to network with others outside of your department, to learn by reading, and to engage in dialogue. Light refreshments are provided.
The UNF Book Club will not meet during the Fall 2012 Term.
