We're looking for a leader!  The club recently lost their fearless discussion leader as Jodi has made a permanent move out of our area - we are sad to see her go, but happy for her as she starts her new journey. 

Please contact our Reference Librarian at x1012 if you are interested in taking on this opportunity for community interaction and excellent reading material.  Typically the club has met the 4th Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.; however, this time/day can be adjusted to suit the leader/club needs.
