Help shape
The Margins Club.

Three years ago, The Margins Club started as a small book club. Today, we have hosted around 80 bookish gatherings, from quiet reading and book discussions to picnics, creative nights, and community events. It has become so much more because of all of you.

This form is anonymous and completely optional. Whatever you have to say, I really do want to hear it. If you would rather talk in person, or have more to share afterward, you are always welcome to reach out to me too.

A final note from Nour

Running The Margins Club has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. It has also been a lot of trial and error, late nights, spreadsheets, group chats, venue emails, and hoping people show up.

None of it would be possible without all of you. Whether you have attended once, twenty times, or have simply followed along online, thank you so much. I am genuinely grateful for you, and I hope we can keep shaping this community into something even better together.

Wholeheartedly,Nour
