The Roaming Readers Walking Club is a group of book lovers who just love to get out in the fresh air, get some exercise, spend some time with nature, and chat about books with like-minded folks. The group does not read a book each month like a typical book club, instead, they just share what they've been reading and what they like while taking a leisurely stroll through the woods at Hoover Forest Preserve. We meet at Hoover Forest Preserve (11285 W Fox Rd, Yorkville) in the first parking lot (closest to Fox Rd - before you cross the railroad tracks) and walk from there. Weather permitting. Check with the library the day before if there is rain or excessive ice.
