Friday Fiction

Friday Fiction is more of a book share than a book group. Every season (January, April, July, and October), Library staff give brief reviews of recent and recommended titles to the group, and then ask the members to share what they have been reading too. Meetings often have a seasonal theme, but there is always something for everyone.  Friday Fiction meets by the fireplace in the Main Library.

Since we have moved to a virtual environment for this program, our librarians have been working monthly to present miniature versions of the longer, quarterly Friday Fiction presentation. Check out our latest Book Brunch and BookMarked! lists below, or check out the full BookMarked! episodes here.

Sign up here for email announcements and reminders of any and all of these programs, or get the monthly list of Friday Fiction titles emailed to you.

Please note: during COVID-19, all of our book groups are meeting online. Contact the group leader for access details.
