Mission Statement: "We want the group to be welcoming and make no demands on anyone that might wish to join us. The only requirement is that they think they would like reading books, and maybe talking about them or just listening to others talk about them and issues that they might raise. Joining in, or not, as they feel comfortable." The reading group started in 2011.
Reviews and Recommendations Interesting books that people have read or intend to read.
Spotlight Showcasing the work of local writers and artists.
Local Events Local literature and poetry events.
