Book Sharing in the Round ~
A Book Club Where You Can Talk About the Books YOU Love…
at the Barrington Public Library
Join Lauri Burke and Margaret McNulty in an informal, drop-in, book group, Tuesdays from 10-11:30 AM Feb. 23, March 23, April 27, May 25 and June 22.
Bring any book you love and tell us about it. Do so via a three minute description that doesn’t give away too much of the plot. Just want to come and listen? You can do that too.
This group is open to adult readers, 18 years of age and older.
Lists of group recommendations will be posted each month on this Blog. (See below for Jan. meeting's recommendations.)
