Lit Chat Adult Book Club is usually a reader’s-choice group, but this month we’ll be discussing The Librarians by Sherry Thomas in honor of Gulf Coast Reads.
Gulf Coast Reads is a regional initiative that encourages communities on the Texas Gulf Coast to read the same book and come together for meaningful discussions throughout October. Whether you’re a longtime member or a first-time attendee, we’d love to have you join the conversation.
Do you want to volunteer your time to help the library and provide feedback for our programming? Join us once a month for our open FOL meetings! We are looking for a dedicated group of members who can help fundraise and let us know what the community wants from the library. Try it out! We are always looking for new members!
