VSDC Book Club discusses “The Personal Librarian” (online)

Sunday, January 25, 2026, 4:00 PM EST

Online

Hosted by Veg Society of DC

Please join the Veg Society of DC Book Club discussion of “The Personal Librarian” by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. This meeting will take place online, via Zoom.

In this historical fiction, the authors “reimagine the story of Belle da Costa Greene, hired by J.P. Morgan as his personal librarian to curate rare manuscripts, books, and artwork for the new Pierpont Morgan Library. But she has a secret: as the daughter of Harvard's first Black graduate, she is passing as white.” — Library Journal

To participate, read at least half the book — and RSVP at least two days before the meeting. People who RSVP yes will get the details to join the discussion (a few days before the meeting). The details will not be posted on Meetup.

The VSDC Book Club began meeting online in March 2020 (previously we met in vegetarian restaurants in DC or nearby Maryland or Virginia). We read fiction and nonfiction in alternating months, about any topic. For more information (including everything we have read over 30+ years!) visit: [https://vsdc.org/Book-Club](https://vsdc.org/Book-Club) or contact Beth through Meetup: [https://www.meetup.com/members/1642817/](https://www.meetup.com/members/1642817/)

Don't be a no-show! If your plans change, update your RSVP.
