Hi everyone, just a reminder! The March 2024 Southeast Steuben County Library Book Club for Adults gathering will be held this Friday, March 8, 2024.

We’ll be meeting in the Conference Room at the library, from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m., and will be discussing the novel, The Half Moon by Mary Beth Keane.

Also of note, due to the popularity of our originally scheduled read for April (which translates into the book having a long holds list); we’re going to switch our April and May Reads, to give us time to get copies of the book The Heaven And Earth Grocery Store, our original April Read (now our May Read). Copies of our switched May with April Read, The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant are available in system, have been requested and are already starting to arrive although we may not have enough copies on hand for everyone until next week – so let me know you’d like a copy sent to you.

And as that last paragraph may be confusing, here is a more straight-forward way of accessing the updated schedule information; here is the book club schedule with reading list for March – August 2024!
