The book discussion group at the
Jonathan Trumbull Library welcomes readers. Multiple copies of the
discussion books are available at the upstairs circulation desk any time
after the previous month's discussion. Join our friendly group for
as many or as few titles as you like. The group meets at 7
p.m. once each month except July. In August we
meet to choose titles for the next 10 months. Light refreshments
are served. The group is coordinated, moderated, and inspired by local
author and editor Melissa Hayes.
Group members lead individual discussions. |
