China…Page by Page

Reading groups grow in natural settings: among friends, in libraries, around neighborhoods, even in television audiences. They amplify learning and fellowship; they promote conversation and dialogue. The Year of China program provided an opportunity to enrich the reading group experience by bringing the talent of university resources to reading about a specific topic… China.
