Book Club
The Book Club reads a variety of diferent genre's. The decision of what book to read is made by majority rule. Usually a different person each month is asked to bring a couple of books and the group decides which one they'd like to read. If you have a book you'd like to suggest you're always welcome to bring it. The location of the meeting rotates among the participants. Everyone participating is encouraged to read the selected novel but it is not mandatory. Past Books
Book Discussions are held at 7:00 pm on the 4th Friday of each month unless noted otherwise. Book Club does not meet during the summer months. Three books are chosen at the June meeting for discussion at the September meeting. Book Club also does not meet in December. Two books are chosen for reading during the Holiday Season and discussion takes place in January.
Due to scheduling conflicts the Book Club is not currently meeting. Please head over to the UMW page for information on their Reading Program. The program is not just for women anyone who wants is welcome to participate.
