We have a number of Book Clubs for you!
Every Tuesday morning at 10:30 AM we have Nevermore - our freeform book club. Read what you want and discuss it with our group - we always have a wide variety of books brought to the table. Social chatting goes from 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM, and the reviews start at 11:00 AM and run until 12:00 noon. We meet in the Frances E. Kegley Conference room on the upper floor of the library, and the meeting is a hybrid - you can join either in person or Zoom here. Email [email protected] for more information.
Every third Tuesday of the month we host the Bristol Public Library Book Club. This month we will be discussing The Distant Hours by Kate Morton at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, January 16 in the J. Henry Kegley Meeting Room. Email [email protected] for more information.
Radio Bristol Book Club is a joint venture between the Bristol Public Library and The Birthplace of Country Music Museum. On Thursday, January 25 we will be discussing A Place Called District 12: Appalachian Geography and Music in the Hunger Games by Thomas W. Paradis . Tune in to 100.1 FM WBCM-LP Radio Bristol at 12:00 PM or listen online here.
