The Friends of the St. Joseph Public Library is forming a monthly book club at the Washington Park Library.

Ann Thorne will lead the book discussions for the club, at the first get-together on Tuesday, February 3 at 2:00 p.m.

The first book the club will discuss in March is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.

The Friends of the St. Joseph Public Library now support book clubs that meet at three different library branches by providing books for the members to read.Active clubs also meet at the Downtown and East Hills Library.

Each club chooses the books they will discuss. These are provided by the Friends in kits which contains a handy tote bag with nine to twelve copies of one book and a discussion guide to assist book club leaders. The kits are also available for check out by other book clubs. A list of the Book Club Kits is available on the library website and at any St. Joseph Public Library branch.
