A New Book Club for Groton School's Extended Family
The new Circle Book Club—open to the full Groton School community—will hold its first meeting on March 9, discussing Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein. Please join us! Email grotdev@groton.org if you would like to register.
The Circle Book Club is planning future meetings as well, each led by a Groton faculty member. History teachers Eric Spierer and Stacey Spring and librarian Mark Melchior will host the March 9 meeting. Mr. Melchior and Mr. Spierer recently led a lively discussion of Range for students who read the book over the holiday break. Mr. Melchior began student vacation book groups in March 2019, and the Alumni Office asked him to offer reading discussions to the broader Groton family as well.

"We were looking for new ways to engage with alumni and the full Groton community that will fulfill the school's mission of education and scholarship," said Director of Alumni Engagement Allison MacBride.
The Circle Book Club will discuss a fictional work after Range. Please watch for more information about book titles and dates for upcoming meetings.
