Chic.lits
...fashionable friends of fine art, fine reading, and the Mercantile Library

In 2008 a group of book-loving women started the Chic.lits to support current literature events at the Mercantile Library. Many were already members of active, well-established book groups, so they were a perfect fit for the Merc. It was a stunning success. Now, the original Chic.lits are hoping you will join them as a sponsor of the library’s Modern Novel lecture series.
