Three Great Book Discussion Opportunities!

Our library has a wonderful book discussion group called the “Basement Bookies”. To find out where the name came from, you’ve got to come to a discussion! The “Bookies” meet once a month and read everything including biography, nonfiction, bestsellers, classics, and whatever else we can get our hands on! You can see what the Bookies have been reading in 2007 by visiting the library’s calendar page. The following announcements are for those of you currently in the book group and those of you who were formerly in the book group and have been missing us. They are also an invitation to all of you who would like to see what a relaxed and cooperative is like! Join us for one or all of the following events, or come to a monthly discussion, we’d love to have you!

Announcement #1
Tuesday, August 14, 6pm at the library we will be hosting a Harry Potter pot luck discussion. Come ready to talk about the whole series and how it turned out!
Annoucement #2
The New Hampshire State Library have received a grant to do a Big Read. A Big Read is a chance for a whole state to read the same book. The Big Read is happening in October and the book is Farenheit 451. Check out the Big Read blog! I have ordered 25 copies of the book, so if you have a friend or two you are trying convince to join the book group, entice them with a free copy of the book!
Announcement #3
READS-TO-GO has arrived! What’s READS-TO-GO? It is complete book discussion kit in a bag! Visit the state library’s online catalog and search by keyword READS-TO-GO or go to the READS-TO-GO website and see the list of available kits! This is a program I was honored to be able to help create for the New Hampshire State Library Association, I hope we can get some use out of it ourselves.
