2025-12-11 20:00 - 21:00 | Online, United States
Our Smithfields Library Branch’s Omnivorous Readers Book Club (ORB) provides a unique and fun book club experience. Rather than everyone reading the same book, each member chooses your OWN selection related to the month’s theme (which is chosen by the previous meeting’s attending members)! Sharing what we all read is an excellent way to find out about books you may be interested in reading on your own! The book theme for this month is The Holiday Season.
An email invitation with the Zoom link will be sent out before the meeting. If you are not currently a member of the club but would like to join us, call 570-223-1881 or send an email to smf@monroepl.org and you will be sent some information. New members are always warmly welcomed!
