Shelf Love

No Registration Required
Treat yourself to shelf love! This book discussion group is designed for busy, working individuals. We understand – reading a book in one month’s time is not always possible. We discuss a particular book every other month. We still get together once a month, though. On the off month, we check up on each other’s progress and talk about how we feel about the book “so far” in a casual, zero-pressure environment. The book we will discuss in November is Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier.

The Shelf Love Book Discussion Group will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in the 2nd floor meeting room.

Selections for the 2025-2026 Season:
August 12 - Shelf Love Social (meeting in Foundation House)
September 9 - The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman
October 14 - Shelf Love Social
November 11 - Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
December 9 - Shelf Love Social
January 13 - Pearl by Sian Hughes
February 10 - Shelf Love Social
