February 2014 - Drop Dead Healthy

Our next book group meeting will be Monday, February 24 at 3pm in the LME Library Turner Room. Our book selection is Drop Dead Healthy by A.J. Jacobs. The discussion sheet is available online. All are welcome to attend!

Here is a short summary:
"Drop Dead Healthy teems with hilarity and warmth and pushes our cultures assumptions about and obsessions with what makes good health, allowing the reader to reflect on his or her own health, body, and eventual mortality."

January 2014 - Storyteller

Our January meeting was held on January 27 in the Turner Room at 3pm. Due to the extreme cold and related weather issues, we had a small but feisty group!

We discussed the Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. Discussion sheets were available online. Unfortunately, my oven blew an element on Saturday, so there was no fresh baked artisan bread ;-( That's OK--we'll have some next time!

Coffee Chat on December 16

If you'd like to bring something to share (books and/or food), please do! Otherwise there will be coffee and treats provided by the library.
