Thursday Evening Book Discussion Group
This book discussion group began in 1996 as the "Books of the Century" book discussion group, choosing books from the New York Public Library's Books of the Century exhibit and book. Beginning in the Fall of 2000, the group expanded its choices. Participants are expected to read at least part of the selected works. The library will help locate copies of the books. There is no fee, but please register to reserve your space.
Book discussions occur from 7-8:30 pm on the first Thursday of every month, October through May (please note the slightly different time!). Call 215-723-9109 x1 for more information.
