Science Bookclub
This bookclub for science enthusiasts celebrates all things science—combining the thrill of science fiction with the rigor and wonder of science-focused non-fiction.

Whether you're a lifelong science fan, an avid reader of speculative fiction, or simply curious about the world around you, this book club offers an engaging and welcoming space to discuss ideas, exchange insights, and spark new perspectives.
Sociology Bookclub
Our Sociology Bookclub delves into the social and historical forces that shape how we live, work, and connect—with each other and the world around us. We read a mix of fiction and nonfiction that explores themes like identity, inequality, institutions, culture, politics, and change. From contemporary novels to groundbreaking research and historical accounts, each book sparks meaningful conversation and fresh perspectives. We strive to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and constructive dialogue in a welcoming, thoughtful space.
Horror Bookclub
Join us each month as we dive into stories that don’t just haunt but downright terrify—from spine-chilling thrillers to ghastly ghost stories and everything dark in between. This isn’t for the easily disturbed or anyone looking for a light read. Expect gory discussions and grab a nightcap at the bar to keep the chills at bay.
LGBTQIA+ Ally Bookclub
A welcoming space for readers and allies to explore literature that celebrates and supports the LGBTQIA+ community. Join us each month as we dive into diverse voices and stories that inspire understanding, empathy, and advocacy. Everyone is welcome! We meet at the bookbar, which is 21 and over unless with a guardian.
Manga Bookclub
Manga Bookclub | First Friday of every Month @ 6pm
Manga Book Club will be MC’d by our resident volunteer and manga enthusiast, Chris. We’ll be hanging out, talking manga, appreciating great art, and probably arguing about characters and plot twists.
New readers, longtime fans, and the manga-curious are all welcome. Come grab a drink and nerd out with us.

Bookless Bookclub
A book club with absolutely no chance of falling behind on the reading. Not that we make you finish a book either way. . .
Just show up ready to talk about whatever you're reading right now, the book that ruined all other books for you, or the one you'll recommend to anyone who makes eye contact.
Bonus weirdness: We only meet when the calendar gifts us a 5th Thursday. They're rare enough to feel special and infrequent enough that you can't complain about another monthly commitment.
