Book Groups at Topsham Public Library

Thinking about joining a book group? Book groups can be a great way to meet new people and talk about your reading. Here at Topsham we have three book groups on offer:

Great Books is a lively discussion group that has been meeting monthly for more than three years in the library's Conference Room, usually on the fourth Saturday of the month at 10.00am. They are currently discussing short stories taken from “The Seven Deadly Sins Sampler,” authors in this anthology include William Faulkner, Flannery O’Connor and Margaret Atwood. If you are interested in joining this group, please call the library on (207) 725-1727 or email emma@topshamlibrary.org.

Like reading unusual and interesting popular fiction? Rare Reads is a new book group that meets on the fourth Thursday of every month and has two sessions, one at 10am and one at 6pm. You can attend whichever is more convenient to you. Can't make it? Join the discussion on the blog: rarereadsattpl.wordpress.com. You can also vote for the next book up for discussion on the blog or in the library! Registration not required.

Mystery Readers Roundtable is in its third year and will be meeting again on September, 25 at 3.00pm. Once a month, fans of the mystery genre gather over hot drinks and share their favorite crime novels and good company. From the cozy confines of Great Britain to the rocky coast of California, they have explored means, motive, and opportunity. Have a few laughs, investigate themes, and visit some very dark places. If this sounds like your cup of tea (or coffee) come and join the group. Registration is required for this one, so call the library or email tplinfo@topshamlibrary.org if you would like to join.
