Great Reads
The Great Reads Book Club has something for everyone - from suspenseful tales to knee-slapping humor. Plus, no tests! The club is here to simply bring together people who have the same love of books, to have a fun discussion about various books and to simply enjoy each others company. Even if you hate the book or couldn’t finish it, that’s okay— let’s talk about why! The book club meets the third (3) Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m.
Due to COVID-19, Great Reads will be meeting virtually via Cisco Webx. Please contact us at accessinfo@gflibrary.com if you are interested in joining.

If you enjoy taking a peek into someone else’s life, join the Life After Life Book Club to share and discuss life stories. The book club meets the second (2) Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m.
