Interestingly, my neighborhood public library in the Outer Richmond district of San Francisco offers free Great Books-style discussion groups. I never attended a session but always noticed the schedule on the bulletin board. Googling it just now, it's apparently led by members of the Great Books Council of San Francisco (https://www.greatbooksncal.org/ https://www.greatbooksncal.org/). When my children get old enough I hope to attend with them. I had the great fortune to experience a Great Books program for 2-3 years in high school (a pet project of a teacher who fought tooth and nail to fund that class) and consider it a formative experience.
