Upcoming BYOB Discussions

The BYOB (Bring Your Own Book) Club is our new book club with a twist: here you talk about a variety of books, make new friends, eat food and, best of all, take home new book ideas for reading!  Instead of everyone reading one assigned book, everyone comes armed with whatever they've read recently or in the past and loved.  This laid back group will casually talk books around food.  Aren't sure what to talk about?  Come listen!  These meetings will be held on one Wednesday a month at 7 pm.

• April 25th
• May 23rd
• June 27th
