Do you love the IDEA of a book club, but hate the restrictions of having to read a certain book by a certain time and, then, participate in a limited conversation of JUST one book a month? Well... there are others just like you! The patrons of Northwest Library have come up with a great idea; the bookless book club. We are going to try it out and see if it flies. Folks will be meeting every 2nd Monday at 2:00 PM to discuss books/life/interests and any other thing we feel like! So yes, we are a bookless book club, but we are bibliophiles that enjoy the company of other bibliophiles!
