As always, please bring in ideas for future readings, both fiction and non-fiction, to add to our list of possibilities – we consult this list when choosing future book club choices. A small number of book club books will be available for purchase at our First Tuesday event.

You can register in advance for any book club event, and also get on the book club mailing list by e-mailing Kim Chopin at kimberly.chopin@gmail.com.
