Book Groups

A picture of a book group discussion.

Isn’t it fun to talk about a book you just read with others? The Nevins Library hosts several different Book Groups to do just that. We have groups for children, teens, and several different themed groups for adults. It’s a great way to get together with friends to talk about books and current topics.

Whether you’ve participated in our Book Groups before, or not, there is always room for new members. Come to a meeting and see if you like it

Formerly known as Sociable Seniors. This is not your average book group!

We are still sociable, but, you don’t have to be a senior to  join us. (You do have to be an adult).

Read whatever interest you. Then come to a meeting and share your thoughts with the group. We also talk about any activities, trips, concerts, etc. that we have taken part in or planning to do. Guaranteed laughs at every meeting!

Join us on the last Friday of the month at 1pm. (Barring holidays).

Any questions, feel free to contact Tracy 978-686-4080 x19 tpekarski@nevinslibrary.org

The next meeting will be November 4 at 7pm. The Book is Solito by Javier Zamoraat
