"Coffee and a Book!"

Our NEW readers' group meets on the first Friday of each month, to chat about books over a cup of fresh-brewed coffee.  Each month there will be a recommended title, but we anticipate that the discussion will range among many favorite titles. Come join us and bring a friend!

The meeting for July has been postponed to July 9, 2010.

The recommended title for discussion at the July meeting is "Hundred Secret Senses" by Amy Tan.  Bring your favorite book along!

There will be no meeting for August.  Book Club will resume on September 3 with "The Final Confession of Mabel Stark" by Robert Hough.


Please Note:  Interested folks may either place their hold online, or call the library to request a hold.
