FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
A Variety of Book Clubs Being Planned by Friends of Bookshare
Responding to requests from many book enthusiasts, the Friends of Bookshare
is pleased to announce that several genres are now being targeted for one
hour book discussions in our community room.
In addition to the already announced Christian fiction discussion on
Tuesday, August 21, watch for specific information about the Harry Potter
book club that will begin on Wednesday, September 12. Since a one hour
session will not allow sufficient time to cover the series completely,
subsequent meeting dates will no doubt be scheduled.
A book club targeting Horror books and authors is scheduled to begin
sometime in September. Date and time will be announced soon.
We are currently looking for people interested in helping develop
discussions on other categories: Science Fiction, Biography, Historical
Fiction, General Fiction, Non-fiction, Young Adults, K-12, , Mysteries,
Western, Romance, World Religions and more.. If you have a special
interest in helping, please send an email to Pat Price at pat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
You can lead a book club alone or share the FUN AND responsibility with
others. Also, remember that our community room is open 24/7 so it will
accommodate these book club meeting on varying days of the week and at
different times.
You need not be a Bookshare.org member or volunteer to PARTICIPATE IN any
Friends of Bookshare activity. Each event is free and requires no
pre-registration.
