Our Book Groups

Noontime Book Discussion Group

For over thirty years, a group of adults have been meeting one Friday a month at noon for a reading. Currently the members rotate turns in facilitating the discussion and providing refreshments. Members either purchase their own copies of the books or read copies acquired by the library on interlibrary loan.  For more information about this group, please call Kathy Powers, Assistant Director. 

Noontime Book Group Reading Lists:

Evening Book Discussion Group

In response to our recent patron survey, the library will be sponsoring an evening book group, starting October 2009. The focus will be on current literary fiction, with the odd classic or genre work thrown in. Meetings will be roughly every four weeks on Wednesdays at 7:30 (though the first two meetings will be on Mondays due to Raytheon Room scheduling commitments). Reference Librarian Andy Moore has selected the books and will lead the first discussion, with the hope that a different participant will moderate each following month. No registration required.
