Attention adults who enjoy reading Children’s Literature: we have a new book discussion group for you this year!
Children’s Literature is broad in scope and, like Adult Literature, can be lighthearted at times; other books are quite profound and meaningful, the words staying with the reader and affecting their lives long after the story is over. Let’s delve into a variety of genres and have a rousing discussion about these impactful works.
Register for each session individually. Read or listen to the book before the meeting, and then join us to discuss and explore. (You do not have to attend every session to participate.)
