Together we read! And we invite YOU to join our book club…
Every other month, a different Community Library staff member will choose a book and host a book discussion. Our book club features a wide array of genres, including popular fiction, science fiction, narrative nonfiction, literary fiction … even graphic novels.
There’s something for every reader, and participants can drop in for one session or attend them all!
Book Clubs are intellectually stimulating and a great way to connect to your library and community. To become a member, sign up here. You’ll receive reminders about upcoming sessions and updates on future dates and book selections.
Upcoming Events
Events are held in the Programs Studio inside the Children’s entrance to the Library on 4th and Walnut. Unless otherwise noted, they will be held on the first Wednesday of even numbered months.

Atomic Habits by James Clear
Hosted by Communications Manager Kyla Merwin
No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving—every day. James Clear reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you’ll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. More from the author here.

North Woods by Daniel Mason
Hosted by Librarian Andrea Nelson
This magisterial and highly inventive novel from Pulitzer Prize finalist Daniel Mason brims with love and madness, humor and hope. Following the cycles of history, nature, and even language, North Woods shows the myriad, magical ways in which we’re connected to our environment, to history, and to one another. It is not just an unforgettable novel about secrets and destinies, but a way of looking at the world that asks the timeless question: How do we live on, even after we’re gone?
Find it in our Collection in print, ebook, CD, and eaudiobook here.
