The John Adams Bookclub: Huckleberry Finn
08 juni 2016In continuation of its mission to support American culture in Amsterdam, the John Adams Institute is launching its very own book club. The first meeting takes place on May 11, and we now warmly welcome all book lovers to our circle, members and non-members alike!

There is an annual registration fee of €20 for students and €37.50 for others, to pay for incidental costs including refreshments at the meetings. No fee will be collected for the first two meetings in May and June, but will be payable at the meeting in September. For full details, and to join, send an email to Glen at [email protected].
