How it works

Read this month's book

Each month we pick a title connected to the Keys — history, memoir, or fiction. Read at your own pace; finishing is encouraged, never required.

Gather at the Center

We meet at the Center in Islamorada for relaxed, guided conversation — no quizzes, no homework, just good talk about a good book.

All readers welcome

Members and non-members alike are welcome. Bring a friend, bring your questions, and bring your own copy of the book.
