Do you like to read or listen to audiobooks across all genres? Do you like to talk about books, or just listen? Join the Tuesdays @ Two book discussion group on the last Tuesday of each month from 2pm to 3pm in the McGuire Room. We encourage a mix of Talking Book Library and public library patrons!
