The library currently has two adult book groups. The Bookies have been meeting for over 15 years and meet the third Thursday of the month at 6:30 pm at the library. The M.A.D. about Books group is new and meets the first Thursdays of each month at the library at 6:30 pm. Both groups work from a list of books chosen by the group members. Each member takes a turn hosting the meeting when their book choice is discussed. Snacks are always included. We read a variety of fiction with the occasional nonfiction title thrown in and read at least one classic novel a year. Participants do not have to purchase books. We borrow them from other libraries. We also play one murder mystery game a year. Field trips related to our books are also occasionally planned. If you are interested in joining a book group, please leave your contact info with the staff.
