Brewery Book Club
Join us for our casual, no-commitment book club. Feel free to come every month or dart in and out depending on your schedule and interest in each month's books. Everyone is welcome! There is no fee, no purchase necessary, and no attendance requirements. We are very casual! Discussions are fun, lively, and friendly and are usually led by our staff bookworms Molly and/or Ben.
Book club has become so popular that we now have two meetings a month, one for fiction and one for non-fiction. The non-fiction meeting is the first Wednesday of each month at 7 PM and the fiction meeting is the third Wednesday of the month at 7 PM. Join us for just the fiction meetings, or just the non-fiction, or both, or bounce from one to the other - it's totally up to you.
Hope you can join us!

The next chapter...
Do you have ideas for 2025? We're working on the reading list for the future already! Please send us ideas if you have suggestions! We have a few criteria:
- not too long...we shoot for around 400ish pages or less
- not recently or will be a movie/tv show/etc
- not a book that EVERYONE has already read, like something that was very common required reading in high school
- is available in all formats: print, digital, audio (and preferably at the library and is old enough to be already in paperback)
- variety is key for us! We pick a mix of fiction/nonfiction, throw a classic or two, try to vary settings/time periods etc., and author ethnicity/genders
