If you’re looking for a great book club to join, don’t pass up on becoming a part of the library’s longest running book Club. Each month we meetup to discuss a host of great reads, and this time around we won’t have a featured selection. Instead, we’re asking that you share what books you’ve been reading over the holidays to introduce readers to even more great titles. This meeting will be conducted on Zoom and will require registration. A link will be provided to those who register. For additional information, contact Amy Watterman at 325-676-6025.
