For January 2009's discussion, the Crandall Public Library Monday Evening Book Discussion Group will be reading the following book:

_The Soloist_ by Steve Lopez

Below is a cover-link to the Goodreads' page about that book: ====>

Becky (beckymurr) Joy-can you tell me something more about this book club or point me in the right direction if info is posted elsewhere?


message 3: by Joy H., Group Founder (new)

Joy H. (joyofglensfalls) | 16697 comments Yes, Becky, the Crandall Library Monday Evening Book Group meets once a month at Crandall Library. They usually meet around 6:30 PM.

I'm sure that if you called the library, they would give you more information. In fact, they'd probably be happy to put you on the group's email notification list.

Joy H. (joyofglensfalls) | 16697 comments You're welcome, Becky.

The library used to post the schedule of these meetings on their online Events Calendar, but I don't see it there lately. I guess they're too busy getting settled in the newly expanded library.

Below is a link to the Crandall Library's home page: ====>
http://www.crandalllibrary.org/

On that page there are links to the Events Calendar and the Site Index.

On the Site Index page, under Informations Services, you will see a link which says:
"Book Discussion". At that Book Discussion page is a general statement which includes the words: "New members are encouraged to participate." So everyone is welcome.

Becky (beckymurr) Joy-I was wondering if you went last night?


message 7: by Joy H., Group Founder (new)

Joy H. (joyofglensfalls) | 16697 comments Yes, Becky. I did go to the book discussion at the library last night.
There were eight of us there. It was a very interesting discussion.

Afterwards, I toured the newly expanded library. It's beautiful!

Becky (beckymurr) what was the book group like & how does it work? I was too warm in my house & too lazy to venture out LOL

Joy H. (joyofglensfalls) | 16697 comments We met in a small meeting room across from the circular railing on the second floor. The eight of us sat around a big table in large comfortable armchairs. The conversation is very informal, just like one you might have in your own livingroom.

I'm not sure which room they will meet in next time. When you go into the library the night of the meeting, just ask at the desk. They're happy to show you where to go.

I hope you'll try to go next month. I'll be posting a note about the next meeting as soon as I hear from Frank, the group leader. If you want to get on his email list for the Monday Evening Book Discussion Group, just call the library and ask about it. They welcome new members.
