Most book clubs will have a specific monthly title, in which everyone commits to read that title during the month, then they all return to discuss that specific title. However, the Book Chat at the Schlessman Family Branch Library is a bit different. Instead of just one title, this club is more of a discussion group. Meet with other book lovers and find out what they are reading. Share your favorite books, essays and poems, or just sit and listen to others. Enjoy some tea and snacks while chatting about the many different books that everyone is currently reading.
