Books and beyond

Are you curious about what goes on at Jefferson County Public Library’s monthly book discussion groups? JCPL sponsors eight book groups for adults at libraries throughout the county. Members read a variety of titles, ranging from literary fiction and classics to biographies and books by local authors. If you’ve ever wanted to see what a book group is all about, don’t be shy. Our book groups are free and new members are always welcome.
