Advice for 2009-2010

We aim to start programs promptly at 7 p.m., and presenters are asked to conclude by 8 p.m. so those who need to leave can do so.  Everyone, however, is welcome to stay until at least 8:30, either to carry on the discussion or simply to socialize with other Bibliophiles. Guests are always welcome. Booksellers catalogs recently received by the Libraries are available for review and can be taken away if wanted.

Programs are nearly always scheduled for the second Wednesday of the month
for the months of February - May and September - November;
no meetings January, June, July, August,
or December.
