We will meet meet monthly in our upstairs meeting room the third Thursday of every month at 7:30PM. See upcoming selections and register on our calendar. The group is meant to read a variety of recommended fiction and non-fiction that encourages lively discussion.
Fresh Voices Book Group
This group is led by our Library Associate, Sienna Tracy. The Fresh Voices Book Group aims to read books by new voices—debut authors with fresh perspectives. We will be reading a mix of fiction and nonfiction as well as biographies and memoirs. Some of these books will cover topics dealing with current social issues–such as human rights, LGBTQIA+, and race–and some will be lighter contemporary reads.
The name Fresh Voices Book Group not only refers to the authors we will be reading, but also the members of the group who will, hopefully, be offering their unique and modern insight on the stories we read, while also discovering promising new authors. Though all are welcome to join, this book group is aimed at readers in their early twenties to thirties.
Titles are available the month prior at the circulation desk and digital copies also available. Please be sure to register for each discussion on our calendar.
