Looking for a book group where you don't read a specific book to discuss, but rather meet up to get other readers' opinions on what they are reading and maybe add to your To Be Read list?
Bluffton Public Library is thinking about adding this "No-Obligation Book Group" event periodically on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening. Everyone would come prepared to recommend their favorite book title(s) read (or listened to) the last couple of months, and the hope is that folks will walk away with some inspiration for what to read next!
The Noon Book Group at Bluffton Public Library meets on Wednesday, February 5 to discuss North Woods by Daniel Mason.
The activity is scheduled for the first Wednesday of each month at noon at Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main. Books to be discussed are available for checkout at the library front desk.
