The Fishers Island Library Book Group usually meets the second Wednesday of each month. Everyone is welcome.
NEXT BOOK GROUP: Wednesday, July 13th @ 5:30 PM Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson
After many years, Louisa Evans is stepping down and Abby McCall is stepping up. We hope, of course, that Louisa will continue to join us since she is so well-read and informative about books!
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!
Contact Abby McCall with Book Group suggestions abimccall@gmail.com
and Librarian Ann Banks with questions librarian@filibrary.org.
