PaulaThe Monday afternoon book discussion group meets at 1 PM on the first Monday of each month, with adjustments for holidays. Everyone who has read the book and would like to discuss it is welcome to attend meetings and join the discussion.

Some people come every month; others drop in when their schedules permit or when a title appeals to them.

Books are selected by the group a few months in advance and are readily available for borrowing.

This book group is hosted by Paula Tefft. For more information, call the Help Desk at 725-5242 or email helpdesk@curtislibrary.com.

Currently, this group is using a hybrid model to meet. You may come in-person (Seminar Room 206), or you may join on Zoom – email Paula for the Zoom link.
