Library Book Club: Tuesday, March 24th at 2pm

Love to read but not into assigned books? Our Library Book Club is the perfect fit! Each month features a fun, flexible theme—and for March, we’re going Eclectic.

That means anything goes: mix up genres, explore something unexpected, revisit an old favorite, or pick up a title you’d never normally choose. From memoirs to mysteries, sci-fi to self-help, poetry to graphic novels. If it sparks your interest, it belongs.

Come ready to share what you read, why you chose it, and what surprised you. This is a relaxed, welcoming space for thoughtful conversation, lively recommendations, and discovering books you might never have found on your own.

No required reading. No pressure. Just great books and great company. New members always welcome, no registration required.
