"Let's Talk About It"

Book Discussion Group

Coffee provided, please join us!

We have two book discussion groups, one during the day and one in the evening. Both are an informal gathering of readers, many who will have read the book being discussed and several who may not have read it yet. They share their observations and discussions flow from there. The library obtains multiple copies of each book for those hoping to attend the book discussion. Check with the staff at the circulation desk to find out when sets are available.

Our evening group meets the first Wednesday of each month
at 6:30 pm and the books they have selected to discuss so far are:
