CYPeer Groups

Tea & Books

Unlike a traditional book club, our Tea & Books peer group focuses on a variety of book/literature genres and topics that support professional development and personal growth. Each meeting will feature a book aligned with these themes, local authors, writing workshops, and discussions on publishing and other book-related topics. Attendees will also enjoy a local tea pairing and small snacks (with a rotating member responsible for tea/snacks). Any additional costs will be related to special events or book purchases. It’s an opportunity to foster deeper connections and build a supportive network, all while nurturing a love for learning and reading all at the heart of Downtown Columbus, at Columbus Main Library. 

Facilitators: Tonia Dunson-Dillard and Unisha Dickerson
Meeting Frequency: 
Monthly
When: 
Rotating Wednesday and Thursdays after work, sometimes on weekends
Where: 
Columbus Metropolitan Library (Main Branch), 96 S Grant St, Columbus, OH 43215
