Alternative Discussion Forums


I would like to find a way to increase the ways each of us can participate in the book group. I would like to experiment with an online forum for the book under discussion. I will post any reading guide we are using and then allow set up a posting for discussion. If this sounds a bit vague, I guarantee you the plan is as vague as the description. I'll keep you posted but I hope that this will prove to be one more way for us to keep connected. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please let me know.

New Book, New Year


Our book is in! The Elegance of the Hedgehog a critically acclaimed translation of a Muriel Burberry's thoughtful book is our next selection. We have a scheduled meeting on Friday, January 15th after the library closes (starting time is usually between 4:45 and 5:00) and we can set up an alternate time during the week preceding.

Check out and excerpt from NPR and a review from the NY Times.

Have a great holiday and I hope to see you soon.
