Book Lovers' Café (Library's bookclub)

Everyone is welcome to join this library sponsored book group, made possible through the Friends of the Library. We meet on the first Monday at 2:00pm of the month ONLINE via Zoom to discuss both fiction and nonfiction books recently published in paperback. The library purchases extra copies that may be requested from the catalog. We discuss the book selected but also spend time talking about any book a member has read and possible choices for the months ahead. We are interested in hearing about your good reads! For more information contact Melody Sky Eisler, (360) 344-3054 or email.

2021 Reading List

Please note: The library's book club kits are limited to 10 books a kit so books may not always be provided or attendees may need to share books. The reading list is subject to change based on the books' availability. 

This year is focused more on works by authors of color. Each year we strive to read a biography, a classic, an award winner, alternate between fiction and nonfiction, and always read the Community Read.
