Shortly after the pandemic lockdown in 2020, the Kessler Keener Foundation launched two separate virtual book clubs to continue our learning. If you are interested in joining, please email Ed Keener at edmakeener@gmail.com.

Books are selected by each book club based on recommendations from the group.

Currently reading:

• Tuesdays at 10am, The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee
