Book Discussions

Join Library staff and spend a morning, afternoon or evening in lively conversation to stretch your mind over an interesting book.  We have a variety of book discussions to choose from.

Books that we discuss will be available at the circulation desk one month prior to the discussion. New readers are always welcome and encouraged to join us.

Upcoming selections are listed on our upcoming events page.

Readers' Advisory

Readers' Advisory is a patron-oriented service committed to promoting life long reading enjoyment. We share and talk about books and are more than happy to suggest good titles. We have award winners, mysteries, romance, suspense, historical, family saga, Christian fiction, gentle reads, classics, literary fiction, holiday fiction, westerns, fantasy, science fiction and horror novels. These books are available in regular print, large print and audio book formats! Visit the Adult Services desk (next to the fiction collection) for your next great read!

Check out our ever changing book displays for further reading suggestions. We also have bibliographies of specific genres or author suggestions (if you like... try this...) on display near the Readers' Advisory desk.  Try the NoveList database!
