Thursday Topics--A five-part salon-style series with selected readings for discussion.

 

Sorry, this book group has been suspended. We just didn't have enough participation to justify holding it. However, if you are interested in discussing these titles we are going to try to incorporate many of them into other book groups next year. Check out the book lists of our other discussion groups in the fall at http://www.chelmsfordlibrary.org/programs/book_groups/index.html

The Feb - June 2008 session will be titled "Bridge over Troubled Water"
Meeting on the last Thursday of each month beginning at 7 p.m.
