The Fishers Island Library Book Club usually meets the third Wednesday of each month. Everyone is welcome.
Upcoming Book Club:
WEDNESDAY, May 21, 5:30 PM
Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten
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.
Contact Abby McCall with Book Club suggestions [email protected]
and Librarian Ann Banks with questions [email protected].
