~ FIRST TUESDAY BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS ~
The FIRST TUESDAY BOOK CLUB has been meeting at 6:30 p.m. on the first
Tuesday of each month since May 2002. The club enjoys lively discussions of both fiction and
nonfiction, including biographies, classics, and contemporary works covering a variety of genres
and cultures. Visit our First Tuesday Discussions page for a look at what we thought of some of our
selections!
New members are always welcome to join the group. Books to be discussed are
usually available at or after the regular monthly meetings or by asking at the circulation desk
after the first Tuesday of each month.
