The Evening Book Group continues to meet throughout most of the summer. Sitting in the sun on warm Minnesota day and relaxing with a book or kindle is an exceedingly pleasant way to read. We hope you will join us for a lively and informative discussion. Alternating fiction and nonfiction, our upcoming books are:

The Evening Book Group USUALLY meets on the third Thursday of the month throughout the year in the Fireside Room at 7 PM. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT BE MEETING IN JULY. The only requirement is that you read, or attempt to read, the monthly selection.  Feel free to come to any or all of the meetings. We welcome newcomers! Questions?
