Book Groups
Anderson's Naperville Book Groups
Open Discussion Project
With the growing polarization of our society regarding politics and problems facing our nation, Anderson’s Bookshop is pleased to be participating in the Open Discussion Project. This group's goal is to foster dialog and better understanding between people with different political viewpoints and to provide a space for civil discourse on controversial or divisive topics. The book selections are also chosen to represent issues and viewpoints across the political spectrum. The aim of each discussion is to promote understanding.

The Whole Story
The Whole Story meets at Anderson's Bookshop Downers Grove the last Friday of the month. Adults and teenagers are welcome to join as we discuss The Whole Story on issues of public interest.
Our focus in 2020 will be reading books written by women of color. However, instead of the entire group reading the same title, each month we will have a list of 6 titles that participants can choose from. They can read 1, all 6 or somewhere in between!
We will meet for an hour of sharing what we read and, of course, treats!
