The Library sponsors various book discussion groups.
The Contemporary Books Discussion Group and the
Mystery Book Discussion Group meet monthly, September through May.
Newcomers are welcome anytime. Occasionally the Library sponsors
book discussions on specific topics.

- Contemporary Books Discussion Group
The contemporary group reads both classic and current popular
fiction and nonfiction titles which are chosen by a vote of
the entire group at the end of each discussion year. The leaders
are volunteers from the group who are given supplemental material
(author biographies, book reviews, etc.) by the Library liaison.
The Library provides the books, which are loaned to the participants.
