Book Club

The library book group has been meeting monthly since 2003. We are finally starting back up after a 2 year Covid hiatus!

We meet on the LAST Wednesday of every month at 2:00PM at the library UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
The book selected for June is: This Tender land by William Kent Krueger.
Please note: The group will meet on Wednesday, June 31 at 2:00 PM .

Come and join us! New members always welcome!  The library supplies books for participants through inter-library loan  and copies of the book are available at the circulation desk.
