We have partnered with PBC Guru to create a virtual Book Club for the Davidson community. Davidson book club members will connect with each other through a private online forum to discuss the current book. The group will spend approximately two months on each book, so you'll have plenty of time to read.

There are three main reasons we hope you'll be excited to participate in our book club:
1. Connect with members of the Davidson community
2. Be a part of a lifelong learning community
3. Reading is good for you (and you’ll support Davidson authors)!
We plan to start the book club by reading one book every two months that will take an average of nine hours to read cover to cover. If you have between 1 and 2 hours a week to read you should be fine.
No, the book club will be entirely online. You can participate anywhere you have Internet access and on days and times that are convenient to you.
Participation is free for all alums and families!
Participants can get books for free at their local library or purchase them.
The book club will have a moderator from PBC Guru who manages the forum where discussions occur online. The moderator will pose questions to the book club, share relevant articles and facilitate conversation about topics in the book. Members will be encouraged to post and share as well. This format allows for ongoing conversation and makes it easy for readers to connect with each other through the forum.
We're using a private forum to host the virtual book club so it's easy to connect with fellow alums. During our sign up process, you will enter the information to auto-generate your free profile. After you complete the sign up, we'll send you a link to the forum and you can begin to post right away!
