The Fishers Island Library Book Club usually meets the second Wednesday of each month. Everyone is welcome.
Upcoming Book Club:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 5:30 PM The Babbling Brook Naked Poker Club by Ann Warner
As in the past, feel free to bring your own beverage and, if you feel like it, a hors d’oeuvres to share with the group. We don’t want anyone to feel that they have to show up bearing food but for those who enjoy cooking we’d love it if you bring something to nibble on!
