7:00pm on the last Wednesday of the month (adults only, must be 16+ to attend).
9:30am on the last Friday of the month (this is a child-friendly book club, adults are welcome to bring children with them if they do not have childcare. We will have playtime set up for young children while adults discuss the book)
Adults may attend just one, or multiple, book clubs each month.
If you require a copy of the book, please bring your library card with you. The library will have a limited number of books to check out to book club participants each month (available to check out starting the last week of the previous month).
