We can help with your book discussion group. The Library has multiple copies of many great selections and award winning books, and can provide titles in various formats. Book discussion groups can also get extended loans.
We also provide book discussion guides to help you lead your discussion. Be sure to register your book group with us to get advance notice about special author events. Senior residences are welcome too. Contact amarrocolla@fergusonlibrary.org to register or for other information.
