Book groups


Seymour Library sponsors a variety of book groups for readers with diverse interests. Coffee and Conversation book clubs meets monthly, with one group meeting on Mondays at 7 p.m. and the other group meeting Thursday mornings at 10 a.m.

The library also sponsors a monthly Coffee and Crime
Mystery Book Group, which usually meets at noon the second Tuesday of the month. The mystery book club looks at a different theme each month.  Participants are asked to read one of the suggested titles that represent the theme. Anyone with an interest in mysteries is invited to join.
