Join the ARCE Library Book Club! Connect with fellow readers, explore diverse voices, and engage in thoughtful discussions, but online and in-person. Every quarter, we’ll feature a new book available through the ARCE Digital Library, with guided reading schedules and in-person and online discussions with the book author or an expert in the topic of the selected book. Our book club welcomes all ARCE members who love to read about Egypt’s rich cultural heritage, as well as archaeology, archaeological sciences, museology, and other related fields.
Our third book selection: Ancient Egyptian Animal Fables: Tree Climbing Hippos and Ennobled Mice by Dr. Jennifer Miyuki Babcock. The book discussion session will be held virtually on May 20, 2026.
Our second book selection: Amarna: A Guide to the Ancient City of Akhetaten by Anna Stevens. The book discussion session was held virtually and in-person on January 21, 2026.
Our first book selection: Death, Power, and Apotheosis in Ancient Egypt: The Old and Middle Kingdoms by Dr. Julia Troche. The book discussion session was held virtually on September 8, 2025.
