Book Swap

Do you own books that you're not planning to re-read?  Everything old is new again at the library's Book Swap!  Bring up to 10 of your used books to swap with other readers.  You'll be issued one "book buck" for every book you bring, plus one extra just for attending, and you can use your book bucks to "pay" for the books you decide to make yours.  

Don't have any books to swap?  You're still welcome to attend and select one book to keep.

Books must be in good condition.  Textbooks and instruction manuals are not accepted.

Open to all ages.

Book Discussion Group: The Dutch House (Zoom)

We will be reading The Dutch House by Ann Patchett for our December meeting.  

Ann Patchett, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of Commonwealth, delivers her most powerful novel to date: a richly moving story that explores the indelible bond between two siblings, the house of their childhood, and a past that will not let them go. The Dutch House is the story of a paradise lost, a tour de force that digs deeply into questions of inheritance, love, and forgiveness, of how we want to see ourselves, and of who we really are.
