Mystic & Noank Library Best Book Club
The 100 Books Club is for all of us who have not (yet) read all of those titles on The NY Times list of the 100 best books of the 21st century. The club will give us a chance to not only read all (or most!) of them, but to kibbutz about their worthiness to be on such a list.
We will meet in the Ames Room the third Monday of every month at 5:30 PM. All are welcome to join!
Contact Chris Bradley at cbradley@mysticnoanklibrary.org for details.
