Library Book Clubs
The Library sponsors several different kinds of book clubs. We read mysteries, classics, regional writers, and an eclectic mix. The Library provides copies of the titles used in its book discussion groups at no charge. Bring your lunch and eat while we discuss our featured title. Drinks and snacks are served. Call the Librarian at 941-4650 or email ptaylor@greenwoodcountylibrary.org to find the group that's right for you.
