Interested in the idea of a book club but uninterested in being told what to read? Our Bring Your Own Book Club is the perfect opportunity to share about what you've been reading and hear about what others are reading.  Library staff will guide the discussion but attendees are encouraged to come ready to share about what they've been reading and watching lately. Meetings are held over the lunch hour, so feel free to bring something to eat!
