The Rensselaerville Library would like to start up a book group! We need to know who would be interested in joining. We would meet once a month at the Library, and we’d like to accompany our discussion with desserts! If you are interested in joining a monthly book group, please answer the following questions:
1. Would you like to meet in the early afternoon, or in the evening?
2. Would you be interested in participating in a bring-your-own dessert (this would be a rotating responsibility)?
3. What days of the week are best for you to meet?
4. Please email your contact information to Liz King.
Thanks! We hope to have our first meeting in March, and our first book would be Alice Munro’s new book of short stories, Too Much Happiness.
