So how does it work?

1 - Sign up for book groups online via our Trax RSVP link (scroll to the very bottom for books)

2 - Once a book has 5 RSVPs, we’ll connect you with the other dads who signed up for the same book.

3 - Dads correspond and pick the Book Club Night that works best

4 - That night, come to the Guild Hall (or hop on the meeting link) and discuss.

Need a copy of the book? Dad Guild and lend you one. Swing by The Guild Hall. 

We’ll do our best to share the confirmed books clubs meeting in advance, in case other dads want to join too. Watch the monthly newsletters as well as our Instagram.
