Series Frequently asked questions:

  • I can't make it in person, can I attend via Zoom? Yes. A Zoom link is available by request. Please contact the library, 435-723-5850, at least 24 hours before the event to get a link.
  • How do I join the Book Group? Come to an event. Everyone is welcome to attend any or all of the discussions.
  • How do I get a book? A limited number of books are available for group members to borrow at the library's circulation desk. No library card necessary.
