Once a month, join a group of interesting readers at the end of the day for a relaxed discussion of a wide range of titles. With an eclectic assortment of selections that includes classics, fiction, non-fiction and best sellers, titles are sure to appeal to a wide range of readers.  Refreshments are provided by Friends of the Library.  Books are chosen through popular vote by the members of the group and are read from January through November.  A summer picnic and a holiday party are always part of the reading year.
