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.
