Book Clubs

We have two book groups that meet monthly. They may adjust the meeting schedule if there are conflicts. In each meeting, the primary agenda is to discuss the details and opinions about each book.

The plan for each is that members read the books ahead of the meeting. But they also recognize that people can get busy and not have time to finish a book. Members are welcome regardless. If you weren’t able to read one, the discussion may prompt you to read it after the fact.

Book Group 2025 – pending

They meet at the Corrales Community Library on the 4th Friday of the month at 1:30 PM except in December because of the holidays. (Compadres name listed with each month is the book lead).

Kay Yoest is taking over leading the group.
