Welcome to the Rogers Free Library Adult Book Club, a monthly gathering place for book lovers now going into its 14th year! The Club will continue to meet as a hybrid group – some of us will attend in person while others will log in via Zoom. One way or another, our love of reading will bring us together!
All meetings begin at 6:30 pm and will last about an hour and a quarter. Please try to log on via the Zoom invite at least five minutes before the start of the meeting.
Meetings are on the last Wednesday of the month; the
full schedule is below. You will receive an email reminder 3 days before
the meeting at the email address you provide on this sign-up form. The
reminder will include a Zoom link for those who want to attend online.
***IF you have signed up for the meeting and haven't
received an invitation to join us 3 days before the meeting date, please
contact the library (401-253-6948) or email ijulier@rogersfreelibrary.org.***
Copies of the book are available at the library for checkout one month prior to the meeting.
We strive to obtain a few Large Print copies for each title, but can make no promises, as not all books have large print versions. Please reach out to the librarian (via email at ijulier@rogersfreelibrary.org), if this is a barrier to you participating in book club.
