About Us

Our Vision Statement

To bring together a group of remarkable book-loving individuals to read and discuss books anytime they decide, support the literary industry, and advocate for book access and reading equality. And instead of doing it alone, we create global alliances and collaborate with partners to collect, donate, and distribute books to communities and individuals with little or no access to books and libraries worldwide.

Our Passion and Motivation

  • We take a book to bed to read. A good book is the nicest of friends. It's not squeamish and doesn't snore.

  • We network and make new friends

  • We develop leadership and public speaking skills

  • We expand our perspective of the world we live in by reading

  • We improve our writing skills

  • We have fun too. We celebrate milestones.

  • We better communicate and bridge our differences of opinion.

We Invite You

We like to read

So like a good neighbor, we invite you to join the Modern Book Club.

Reading is a game-changer

We read and discuss books that positively impact our lives and our communities.

We like to travel

And we invite you to join us on this adventurous journey. The more books we read, the more places we'll go.

"That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet."-Jhumpa Lahiri.
