We are starting an evening book group to complement the daytime Second Wednesday Book Group which started up last March. The Thursday Evening Book Group will meet at Southworth Library on the second Thursday of the month at 6:30 pm on the main floor of the library in the Fiction area.

The new book group will share the same selections as the day-time group just staggering the titles a month apart. The Nov. 13th book is The House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III.
