Book Groups

The library has multiple book groups that are always open to new participants. Each group meets monthly and discusses the book they have chosen to read (the groups generally break for the summer months). The library will provide copies of each book on hold at the upstairs desk. If you are interested, come on by to grab a book and join in the monthly meeting.
