Catapult Book Club
The next meeting of The Catapult Book Club will come to order on the evening of Thursday, September 12th at 7pm.
The current selection is Graffiti Palace by A.G. Lombardo.

"A performative resistance to authority, channeling the multiple contrasting voices and stories of Los Angeles into a mural exploding with color and contradictions." —Los Angeles Review of Books
