Whatcha Reading? Book Club
Jeffersonville Branch
Tuesday, April 7th, 2:00pm 
 
We are trying out a new style of book club! Every month we will discuss a book that we've independently read and then share it with the group. We will NOT be reading the same book and talking about it, but instead share books we've recently read. This includes any genre!
And the best part is that you can look forward to some snacks.
Email wsplprograms@rcls.org with any questions.
