PageTurners Book Discussion Groups
All book discussion groups welcome new participants! Just read the
book and join the conversation. Local participants choose the books to be
discussed for the year. For more information, please contact your local
library. PageTurners Kits contain multiple copies of a book.
Some kits also contain book reviews, author information, talking books and large
print editions. Contact your local library to
check out a Book Discussion Kit for your group. |
