Book Talk @LAU
2025-01-28 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Laurel-Jones County Library, 530 Commerce St, Laurel, MS, 39440, United States
Come enjoy the company of fellow readers at our NEW after-hours book club! Book Talk is a no pressure, no assigned reading book club for book lovers to share their thoughts on whatever they’re currently reading with others. From 5-6 PM we will have a quiet reading hour for you to just unwind from the day with your book. Group discussion starts at 6 PM where we go around sharing what we like/dislike about our current reads and get or give book recommendations. This is a book club for adults (age 18+); Readers of any genre and any format (physical, ebook, audio) are welcome!
