Past Faculty Book Club Titles

Northwest School students and faculty read together! This year the Founders' Library staff supports faculty, upper school and middle school book clubs. The faculty meet about once a month and the students meet as Interest Groups. Members of each group choose their books based on recommendations from the library staff—and we eat well at all of our meetings!
