In this online community, library patrons connect with each other to read and discuss books whenever they have the time. There is no cost to participate - you just have to get a copy of the book to enjoy! The Book Club will connect through a private forum where all participants can discuss the current book and network with each other on their own time. The Group will spend approximately two months on each book so you will have plenty of time to read and discuss. |
