Book Groups

The Falmouth Memorial Library sponsors a book discussion group that meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 2:00 to 3:30 during the school year except January. This is a great group of readers, welcoming new members. Canadian fiction has been the focus of this group this fall, with some vibrant discussions. We're interested in hearing from you about additional book group ideas.
Do you already belong to a book group? Where do you meet? Might you be interested in meeting at the library instead? Do you have a facilitator or group leader? What genres, titles, authors do you generally read? Are you interested in facilitating a book group at the library?
Please post your ideas to this site, about times, formats, and interests, so that we may improve our service to our patrons.
Thank you for your time and thoughts!

Magazines

Did you know you can borrow back issues of magazines for a week? In the Children's Room, we have several titles that children can borrow, including Kids Discover, which is a very informative & entertaining read. We have Rolling Stone, Mad, Skiing, Road & Track, and Seventeen in our YA area. At the back of the library, we have a comfortable Periodicals Room where you can browse the latest issue of magazines, and then take home back issues. Some great reads include the New Yorker, Harper's, the Nation, Sierra, and Smithsonian. For gardening inspiration, we have Garden Design, People Places Plants, and Organic Gardening. If you like audiobooks, try AudioFile magazine for recommendations.
