Join us once a month for lively discussions on books in a variety of genres and voices. When you register for a session, there is no need to place a hold on the book! A physical copy of the book will be available for you to pick up from the branch 3-4 weeks before each session. If you would prefer a different format such as an e-book, audiobook, or large print edition, please click on the title link below to place a hold through your own account. Please note that not all formats are available for all titles. Please register for each session you wish to participate in.
