Anniston, AL — The Anniston Museums and Gardens invites the public to take a step back in time through the power of storytelling during the next session of its popular Berman Book Club, set for Thursday, May 8 at 6:00 p.m. at the museum campus on Museum Drive.
Each month, this engaging program explores a new historical fiction title, offering readers the opportunity to connect literature with real-world artifacts from the museum’s Berman collection. The program goes beyond traditional book discussions, encouraging participants to “dig deeper and experience history” through a blend of compelling conversation and curated exhibits.
Designed for curious minds and history lovers alike, the club sheds light on the stories behind major events, making history feel vivid, personal, and far from boring. As part of the experience, museum staff share items from the collection that relate directly to the featured book, allowing attendees to gain a richer understanding of the historical context.
The cost to attend is $8 per person, with free admission for AM&G members. Pre-registration is encouraged due to the popularity of the program and the immersive nature of the experience.
The event is open to the public, and anyone—whether a longtime book lover or new to historical fiction—is welcome to join.
For those interested in diving into history in a fresh, interactive way, the Berman Book Club at Anniston Museums and Gardens offers a unique evening of learning and discussion.
