Our book club, “Books on the Square,” meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 1:00 pm. In September, we’re reading Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver. We also have a Murder/Mystery Book club called “There’s a Mystery at the Library” that meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:00 pm. In September, we’re reading The Lost Girls by John Glatt. Stop by the library to pick up a copy of either book so you can join the conversation. There are no right or wrong answers, but lots of book talk. We hope you’ll join us.
