This group meets monthly on the last Wednesday of the month at 10 AM  from September to June. We Have had difficulty  finding a place to meet this year but will have that resolved before our  first meeting this fall.

We choose our books in June and members volunteer at that time to volunteer for the book that they  will be responsible for leading the group in discussion. We select titles that are in paperback.

Kent Krueger, The Book of Lost Friends, by Lisa Wingate (May reading).  Night Readers will choose our 2021-22 books virtually, by email, starting in June.

Thursday Evening Book Study:

We held our first Zoom meeting a year ago to choose our books for this 2020-21 season.  Some of us, masked and distanced, came to a bonfire outdoors for our September 11 meeting.  Thereafter we met on Zoom and had a good year, checking in on one another, viewing faces on the Zoom screen, and hearing wonderful book reviews and discussions from members.  We welcomed Patricia Power and Kristy Cooper Stein as new members. We are just finishing choosing next year’s books and are hoping for in-person meetings.
