Club Rules:
- Share at least one thought about the book of the week, be respectful of others so they can do the same, and enjoy the time.
- You do not need to attend all meetings or meetings in a row to join. Each discussion is about a different book, so choose books that interest you, or join the conversation when you have the time!
- Food in the library is allowed at lunch for the book club only as long as it doesn't become a mess.
