WFL Book Groups for Adults
New members always welcome!
Our Friday Morning Book Group has gone virtual! See our latest video below.
All are welcome to join us for discussion and morning coffee. The group meets on the third Friday of each month from 9:45 AM to 11:15 AM. Copies of the monthly titles are available at the Reference Desk for you to borrow. The monthly discussion title may range from indie and foreign films to historical fiction books, memoirs, and contemporary fiction. For more information, contact Deb Berenbaum at 781-235-1610 x 1220 or dberenbaum@minlib.net. Visit the Library Events Calendar or drop by the reference desk to find out what we are reading.
Join in to give a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ to your recent reading and come away with a list of recommended titles for what to read next. New members are always welcome. Call Information Services at 781-235-1610 for more information. Contact for Zoom info: Deborah Pelegrini-Yong.
