While working in a store environment, Stephanie Wilkerson-Hester constantly found herself having extensive discussions about various books with customers. These discussions sometime took on a life of their own and grew into debates. Having others around that appreciated her love of reading led to her decision form a book club of her own, uniting other individuals that shared in the passion for reading. Initially, Stephanie hosted a couple of book release parties and meet ‘n greets with different authors to feel out the level of commitment of others to actively engage in a group atmosphere.

After many discussions, Stephanie decided to incorporate her love for reading and discussion into a book club. August 2006, Literary Knowledge Book Club was established and one (1) year later we have grown to be a dynamic team of African American women that love to read.

Monthly selections are diversified to keep each individual's interest in mind. Members bring a different literary experience to the group at every meeting and are eager to learn from each other through our discussions. Literary Knowledge Book Club main purpose is to serve as an additional outlet for those that enjoy sharing their opinions about different life challenges and our addiction to reading. « less
