City Hall Book Club
We bring City employees together to explore issues that affect Boston and other urban areas.
We’re a strategic partner with the City of Boston. Our goal is to promote a culture of diversity and inclusion. City Hall Book Club is made up of a diverse group of City employees with many different backgrounds and opinions.
We're currently planning for our next meeting! We'll let you know once we've picked our next book and meeting time. Interested in attending our next meeting? Please RSVP with Abbie Milewski at abigail.milewski@boston.gov.
