Great Books Book Club at Park Forest: December 2026

The Great Books Book Club at Park Forest Branch Library is built around prepared reading: for its Dec. 2 meeting, the library names Sheridan Le Fanu’s Uncle Silas and asks participants to read the selection before they arrive.

Come ready to share a view

The library describes the club as a chance to read classic books and exchange thoughts with other readers. For this session, the expectation is clear: finish the assigned book beforehand, so the meeting can center on participants’ responses rather than beginning the reading together.

The calendar lists another club date on Dec. 16, but does not identify its selection. Readers choosing a meeting based on the book can rely on Uncle Silas as the Dec. 2 assignment only.
