About this Event

Jumping off from our June read, The Golden Compass, selected by Summer Main Space Artist Michael Guerra Foertser, we’re excited to cover the next chapter in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series. The Subtle Knife continues the adventures of Lyra Belacqua (now known as Lyra Silvertongue), as she investigates the mysterious phenomenon of Dust and travels between worlds in search of family.

The book club meeting will be held at Artpace with light refreshments at 2pm, Saturday, August 27. Free parking is available at the Artpace parking lot at 513 N Flores.

Reading Red Book Club is free and open to the public. Registration is required.

Download a digital copy or audiobook through your Libby app or swing by the San Antonio Public Library or your favorite local bookstore to pick up a copy.
