Library Reading Groups

The Shrewsbury Readers Book Group meets on the first Thursday of the month from 6:307:30 p.m.. We select titles from various genres and strive to be diverse in our choice of subject matter and authors. Copies of the book will be available for pickup at the Circulation desk.

Reading Glasses is a fun and casual book group for adults in their twenties and thirties, meeting on the third or fourth Thursday of each month from 7:008:30 p.m. It's a very collaborative group each month participants take turns presenting choices for the next read and everyone votes on a favorite. If you've ever dropped out of a book group because you didn't like the books being chosen, give Reading Glasses a try! It's more than just a book group, it's a group of friends talking about books. E-mail our Reference department at SPLreference@cwmars.org to sign up!
