More Information:
BookChat is held monthly at Lionel Bowen Library on the 3rd Thursday of the month, 2pm - 3pm. It gives participants an opportunity to discuss titles that they have been borrowing from the library.
Don't let your opinions on books go to waste - share them, recommend titles to other readers while broadening your own reading selections over an informal chat with other enthusiastic readers. Discussions are bound to be enlightening, fascinating and unexpected.
Dates: 20 February, 20 March, 17 April, 15 May, 19 June, 17 July, 21 August, 18 September, 16 October, 20 November and 18 December.
