Book Clubs

Adult Book Club

The library's Adult Book Club focuses on contemporary literary fiction, although non-fiction and classic works are read as well. All titles are selected by the members of the Book Club.

Meetings are generally held on the first Monday of each month from 6:45 - 7:45 PM in the library's Community Room. Holidays or other events may result in an occasional date change, so please check the schedule below. There is no cost to participate, and new members are encouraged to join at any time. Group members are expected to have read the month's book before attending discussion sessions, but first-time attendees are always welcome to drop in.
