    Join a fabulous new book group on the Near West Side with a kick off mixer and reception to get to know fellow readers!

    This fall, the National Public Housing Museum partners with the Chicago Public Library Little Italy Branch and One Book, One Chicago to read Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez and explore themes of community and displacement.

    Enjoy free drinks and snacks in the Alphawood Foundation Sculpture Garden at the National Public Housing Museum. Read the book, and then reconvene a month later with the book group to discuss.

    We encourage residents living in mixed-income communities, including public housing, to join, but all are welcome!
