The Fishers Island Library Book Club usually meets the forth Wednesday of each month. Everyone is welcome.
Upcoming Book Club:
WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 5:30 PM
The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters
Meg Atkin will facilitate.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 5:30 PM
If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name: News from Small-Town Alaska by Heather Lende
Jane Ahrens will facilitate.
We generally select the book for the following month at the preceding meeting. Feel free to BYOBeverage and a snack to share if you like.
Please invite friends who might also be interested. The more readers the better and so many people are unable to join on any given night that I don’t think we can have too many people. There are lots of book lovers on the island and it’s really nice to bring the group together. Please feel free to forward this to anyone else you can think of. All are welcome.
