Book Groups

Adult Book Group meets monthly, usually on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7 pm. Book choices vary, from mysteries to travel, literary fiction to gritty memoir. All are welcome to join discussion, whether or not you’ve read the book (but we won’t promise not to spoil the ending if you didn’t finish), and refreshments are always served. Books can be borrowed a month before each discussion.
