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 knit/crochet/craft? Please join us for our weekly meeting of the Knotty and Nice Club. We meet for 2 hours and socialize while working on our own projects or community charity projects. Please note that this is not a class but people are always available to help you if you need a LITTLE help. If you have never knitted or crocheted, the library offers many books and a few DVDs to learn. You can find many helpful videos on YouTube as well.
Enjoy good company, good conversation, and a good cup of hot tea during Tea Time Book Club every second Tuesday of the month! In 2026, we will read these titles from July to October:
July 14: The Measure by Nikki Erlick
August 11: The Ghostwriter by Julia Alvarez
September 8: Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout
October 13: The Librarians by Sherry Thomas (Gulf Coast Reads)
