Books and Banter

Books and Banter has moved online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Books and Banter is St. Martin's informal book club, held on the second Monday of the month from September to June. Sessions begin promptly at 7:30 p.m., and end by 9:00 p.m. All are welcome at our open discussions.

All Books and Banter discussions are held online on Zoom.

Participants locate their own copy of the book, borrowing from the Free Library of Philadelphia (various branches) or from the Montgomery County Library system; reading on a Kindle, or buying a new or used copy (we recommend your local Black owned bookstore, like Uncle Bobbie's Coffee and Books in Germantown.)
