Event Details

Now you have something to look forward to on Mondays...

Book lovers unite on the 4th Monday of the month! Join us for a relaxing evening at the library to discuss our latest book selection chosen by the group. Each meetup will be a new experience and you never know what will happen—you might get to lead the discussion (but only if you want!), or a special guest might make an appearance!

BONUS ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:

  • Readers receive a copy of the book to keep!
  • Movie nights! If a movie adaptation of our selected titles exists, a film viewing will be scheduled a few days after our regular meeting.

UPCOMING SELECTIONS:

  • February 27th— The Lincoln Family: Its Lost and Hidden History by Gwinn Thompson Hahn and Jerry M. Coleman
  • **Gwinn is a local author and will be leading our discussion!!!!**
  • March 27th— The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams
  • April 24th— Dava Shastri's Last Day by Krithana Ramisetti
