The Evening Book Club is a friendly, laid-back space for readers to come together, enjoy a good story, and share thoughts, laughter, and conversation.
We meet on the last Friday of each month via Zoom, making it easy to join from the comfort of home. At the end of each meeting, members help choose the book for the following month—so everyone has a voice in what we read next.
Our first selection is The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly, a smart and engaging mystery to kick things off.
For members who are visually impaired and use the National Library Service, the DB number is DB 61492.
For more information, please call Blagica at 201-996-9100 ext. 115.
Discussion questions are included below should you wish to review or answer them in advance.
All are welcome.
Bring your curiosity, your favorite beverage, and your love of books—we look forward to reading with you.
