The Pageturners Library Book Club isn’t meeting in December, but will be back in January with a new series as part of the Let’s Talk About It (LTAI) program with books provided by the Idaho Commission for Libraries.The theme for the series is “Growing Older, Growing Wiser.” Discussion leaders for the series are provided by the Idaho Humanities Council, the state-based affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The program is also sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Local funding is provided by the Friends of the Library.
All discussions are held the fourth Wednesday of the month at 10:15 in the Community Room. Discussions are open to any adult reader. Copies of the books will be available at the Research and Information Desk. Titles in the series, their discussion dates, and discussion scholars include:
