Book Groups

The Bethel Public Library offers several opportunities for book lovers to meet at the Library for book discussions and tell us why you loved–or disliked–this month’s choice. The moderator will present background on the author and the book. All are encouraged to jump in with insights, questions and reactions to the book.

Regular discussions are being held every month on Wednesdays, 10:15-11:30 am, at the Cady R. Morse Conference Room.

Classic Book Discussion Group meets every other month on Mondays, 6:30-7:45 pm, at the Cady R. Morse Conference Room.
