Between the Lines: Adult Book Discussion
Between the Lines, the Library's book discussion group, meets at 1:00 pm the 4th Thursday
of the month, January through October. Each discussion lasts from 1 to 1.5 hours. The date and time of meetings are shown on our calendar.
BTL is a relaxed, friendly group and new members are always welcome. Membership is free and the book to be discussed is provided to each member.
Merlee, our group moderator engages the members in discussing the book, while sharing background information about the author, story,
time period and locale. And there's always a table filled with delectable refreshments to add to the enjoyment of the meeting.
