Book Browsers Annual Potluck Luncheon June 5th

Our next Book Browsers meeting is the annual potluck lunch on June 5th, this year  at the home of our new member Dawn Beazer at 105 Quarterpath Court, Jamestown. The phone number is 336-887-8928 and the email is dtbeazer@aol.com. Dawn will provide beverages and dessert and we will provide the rest. I will contact Dawn about parking in her neighborhood; if it is tight we may need to carpool.

At this meeting we will choose books for next year. Bring one or at most two books that you have read, are not too lengthy, and will provoke interesting discussion. Be prepared to “sell” this book in two minutes or less. Books do not have to be on the GPL book group list, but it is helpful if they are and reviewing this list may give you ideas of books to recommend. To find this list go to www.greensborolibrary.org, click on “Books and Reading” on the main page, then click on “Book Clubs”, then “Book Club Collection”. If a book is not in the collection, it should be readily available and preferably in paperback.

Call me if you have any questions (336-316-1339).        Mary Woodrow
