New Book Club!

First Tuesday Book Club

This book club is for intermediate to advanced non-native speakers who would like to discuss a book. The club meets the first Tuesday of each month at 3:00 p.m. in LRNC 102 next to the CyberCafe in the library. No Registration Required.

Next title for discussion:
December  2 - Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None

Ongoing Book Clubs:

I Love a Mystery Book Club
The club meets the last Wednesday of the month at 1 p.m. in library meeting room 215. We discuss a different theme each month.

So you say you like:

  • mysteries?
  • to hear about what others are reading?
  • to have the friendship of a book club without committing to reading a book every month?

Have we got the group for you!
