Why join a Book Discussion Group?

A Book Discussion Group offers individuals an opportunity to read and share ideas and opinions of books in a friendly, relaxed environment. It encourages participants to read different types of books that they might otherwise overlook, and it gives everyone a chance to enjoy talking about the books that are read. The Library has a group that meets the third Tuesday of every month at 7pm. Please consider joining our group and enjoy the lively exchange of ideas.

For the month of May, the Book Discussion Group is reading Fluke, by Christopher Moore.
