Discussing & Connecting

Come tell us all about your recent reads and share with other book lovers!

Have you read a book that you want to rave (or rant) about? Looking for suggestions about what to read from others in the community?

Come to one, some, or all of our drop-in Bring Your Own Book Club sessions this summer! You can discuss books you’ve read as part of our Adult Summer Reading Program, or any book at all. If you’re able to, bring the book(s) that you are reading so others can see what you’re talking about and maybe even browse a few pages!

Drop in! No registration required.
