The reading group was organized the summer of 2005 and meets every six weeks at 6:30 p.m. at the Library.  Books are chosen by the group and a variety of types are selected. New members are always welcome. If you’re interested in joining the discussions, contact library staff for details of the next meeting at 897-7173 or amanda@livermore.lib.me.us
