Welcome to the Medical Sciences Library

Aggie Book Club is a student organization for students who cherish the written word at Texas A&M. Everyone is welcome!

We read across genres. Our club is relaxed, because we know your studies always come first. There are no problems if you are unable to complete the weekly readings. You'll still be able to join the meetings - as long as you are okay with spoilers. ;)

Our meetings consist of a discussion over the assigned weekly reading and then time for general socialization or games. We also host socials about once a month. 

Please come join our bookish beehive any time throughout the semester. We'd truly love to have you!
