Book Discussions
Book discussions are informal, fun, and open to the public on a drop-in basis.
The Main Library Book Discussion meets on the first Tuesday of each month. Books chosen are generally literary fiction or narrative nonfiction. Participants take turns leading the discussion. This discussion currently meets online via Zoom. Register here: https://bit.ly/fpl-adultbookdiscussion.
