Book Clubs

As I am racing to finish my current First Tuesday Book Club selection before our meeting on Tuesday it has occured to me that many of you may not be aware that we have 3 active adult book clubs here at the Windsor Locks Library (we also have a couple of kid's clubs). The First Tuesday Book Club meets (you guessed it!) on the first Tuesday evening of every month at 6:30 PM. This club reads a variety of books, including nonfiction, historical, biography, best sellers, literary fiction, ... the list goes on and on. The variety of selections and personalities makes for some lively discussions. We have been meeting for 6 years and members have come and gone over that time, but we are always on the lookout for new members. You don't have to come every month if you don't have time or don't like the book, but I have discovered many great books that I never would have picked up if I hadn't had to read them for the book club! You can see what we have been reading over the years by visiting http://www.windsorlockslibrary.org/firsttuesday.html.

The Christie Capers is our mystery book club. We usually read cozies, with an occasional police procedural thrown in, and our usual meeting time is the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM. This year we are reading theme books (we are currently in the middle of our craft mystery phase after having read 3 historical and 3 culinary mysteries), but we like to change it up a little every year. For more information on what we have been reading for the past 5 years visit the Christie Capers' page at http://www.windsorlockslibrary.org/mysteryclub.html.

Our other book club, run by my esteemed colleague, Beth, is the Around the World Book in a Year Club. This group is especially interesting because every month they read a novel set in a different country. Did you know that there are actually novels set in Lapland? This group of armchair travelers meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 and the books that they have been reading are listed at http://www.windsorlockslibrary.org/worldbooks.html.

Check out a book club at Windsor Locks Public Library. They are a great way to expand your mind, make new friends, and get some great snacks at the same time!
