Beyond Study Groups
ICL Reads
ICL Reads, a community-wide reading program, provides members with an annual opportunity to engage in a common reading experience that addresses universal themes, issues and topics.
The book selection is introduced in December and the program continues through August via book discussions, researched Study Groups / Intersession Presentations and special events to complement the book.
Books are available on loan and can be obtained in the ICL office. Learn more about ICL Reads…

Field Trips / Excursions
During the year, ICL offers field trips to places of interest to its membership. There have been trips to places such as the Johnson Wax building in Racine, Wisconsin, the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, as well as several museums and points of interest around the Chicago area. These excursions are in addition to a Field trip that a Study Group may propose. Other excursions have included plays and concerts. There is usually a charge for entrance or admission fee as well as a transportation fee for these trips. Members should complete the second page, including lunch option, and send it to the Office Manager.
