Book discussions: 8 years @ Andover PL...

Our next selection -
join us here April 30th!

On April 30th, we'll hold our 61st book discussion meeting for adults, as well as mark our 9th anniversary as a group.  Since April of 2003, our book discussion group has met 6-8 times a year, and while the group doesn't have an official name (is it time to adopt/invent one?), we have a pretty steady attendance of anywhere between 5 and 12 attendees.  Not bad!  We're always looking for new folks to join us, so be on the lookout for info about the next meeting in the RiverEast, the Hometown News, in this blog, or on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/AndoverPublicLibrary.CT).  In the meantime, here's a list of what we've read so far:
