Series Frequently asked questions:
- 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.
- Do I have to read the book in order to come to the discussion? No. Reading the book will certainly enhance your experience in the discussion and prepare you for talking points, but all are welcome no matter how much (or how little) of the book they have read.
- Can I borrow a copy to read after the discussion? Yes. As group members turn in their books, those books may be borrowed by others.
