Wednesday is all about quiet and conversation!
At 5, our weekly Constitution Roundtable meets up, facilitated by Professor John Sullivan. This discussion about our nation's founding principles is even more important and timely than ever.
Also at 5, join the coolest (and quietest) book club around: Silent Book Club! Bring your current read and settle in cozy space, maybe with a great drink or snack. Feel like chatting with fellow readers? That can happen after we've had some time to chill and read!
