Bring Your Own Book Club-All are welcome to bring whatever they are currently reading to discuss books, give and receive recommendations and share their love of reading.

Join us the 1st Saturday of each month from 3-4PM for the Downtown Library's new book club! This is an open book  discussion group for all adult readers of any genre. B.Y.O.B. stands for Bring Your Own Book. Rather than all reading the same book, participants bring whatever they are reading at the moment to share and discuss. All genres and formats are welcome. The hope is that participants will talk about what they are currently reading, get some good reading recommendations and share and spread their passion for reading.

AGE GROUP: | Adults 18+ years |
