Book Club

Please join our book discussion group "Book Chat". We read a variety of books including fiction, nonfiction, young adult fiction, and sometimes even juvenile fiction. 

New faces are ALWAYS welcome. If you miss the meeting, you may still stop into the library anytime to pick up a copy of the book for the next meeting. This group meets the first Thursday of each month unless otherwise noted at 6:00 pm.

Please "Like" us on Facebook to keep up to date and follow upcoming events.
