Meetings are on the second Monday of each month at 10:15 am. We read a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction. Some of our more recent favorites have been memoirs. Members of the club make suggestions based on books they have already read. The selection must also be available in paperback since some members may have to purchase their own copies. December is the Christmas Party when members bring snacks and copies of books they wish to suggest for the next year. The titles are discussed and voted on by the members. Everyone is welcome!
