Now that we’re in a bigger town, Maciek has started the Inuvik Book Club. The Inuvik Book Club is much more official and affiliated with the public library (which obtains the selected books for us), and even has a fancy website. We’ve had two meetings so far, and turnout has been pretty good (~8 people each time).
