Join The Fiction Files as we discuss this year's Gulf Coast Reads book, The Librarians by Sherry Thomas. We're so excited to hear everyone's opinions on this book whether you loved it (or not!).

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.
Do you struggle with making friends or socializing? Do you love games?
Join us as we play card and board games while we mingle! It's okay if you don't know how to play the game, truth be told, we're still learning too! Don't worry, making mistakes is also part of the process. We'll be having tons of fun so don't miss out! Light refreshments will be provided.
If you have a board game you'd like to bring, we would love that too!
