The AIC Book Club meets at Illume on the 1st Monday of each month (Jan-May) @ 7pm
📚1/6🍕2/3📚3/3🍕4/7📚5/5🍕
We live in a highly polarized period of American history. Let’s take a break from the politics and get to the root of what’s causing so much intense disagreement and unrest: identity. Is the United States a nation of interwoven cultures that conflict as often as they coincide? Or can it actually support a cohesive identity? Through a variety of readings, we’ll explore American identity, culture, and society, and attempt to answer the question: what makes us American?
…well, besides pizza, of course. Look forward to free pizza at every meeting.
Note: While members of all political persuasions are welcome, this is *not* a book club about politics or political debate.
January Read: Blue Highway
February Read: American Nations
AIC Facilitator(s):
This club is hosted by Eben Diskin and his father, Steven. Both have history degrees they never use, and will enjoy the book discussions almost as much as they’ll enjoy the pizza.

Curation and "Why Don't You Carry..."
Illume is an experience for readers that's meant to showcase a careful selection of titles much in the same way an art gallery would display an exhibition.
Titles are always shown "cover forward", and our inventory rotates to reflect current reader interests, shifting topics, and obscure finds. That said, we LOVE recommendations! Let us know what you're looking for, or what your favorite reads are. You may find them on the shelves soon!
Whether you're a stacked to the brim library connoisseur, or a minimalist looking for a rare gem... we hope you'll enjoy our open space, find a new treasure, and experience the cozy reading couch🤍
