World Building Book Club

Meets every fourth Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM

in the library Meeting Room.

​​​

Come step outside the known and into future worlds, distant worlds, magical worlds or otherwise fantastical worlds for swashbuckling adventures, post-apocalyptic cultures, irreverent romps, sentient plants, aliens and dragons. Sometimes the world building and writing will work for you, sometimes it won’t, but we’ll always have a lively discussion of it. We welcome everyone from world-building enthusiasts to the world-building curious and skeptical. And we’re always excited by recommendations! More info at JHPL

Armchair Travelers Book Group

Meets every third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 PM

in the library Meeting Room.

​

For over 30 years, the Armchair Travelers Book Group at the

Joshua Hyde Library has explored a wide variety of challenging and memorable books. The discussion is always lively and exciting and

each book is led by a different leader each month. In addition, there is always a lovely table with references to the book in both a clever display and refreshments.

​​

We hope you will join us each month to read a wide variety of excellent and unique books. Books are available in a variety of formats from the Joshua Hyde Library book discussion shelves. More info at JHPL

Longer Table Book Club

Meets quarterly at 6:30 PM in the library Meeting Room.

 

This book club is a chance to read, talk, and get to know your neighbors.

Each book will give us a chance to learn something new and hear from people with different life experiences. More info at JHPL
