If you are curious and enjoy reading, the Non-Fiction Book Club may be a fit for you. We explore all topics from birds to Bora Bora, inspiring biographies to historical scandals, the natural world to outer space. Approximately 6-12 members participate each month. Feel free to come regularly or drop-in if the topic interests you. Some of the group were present (pictured below) to select the 2024-25 lineup.
The Non-Fiction Book Club meets every 3rd Tuesday, 1:00 pm-2:30 pm.
