The Page Turners book group offers two different sessions each month on Wednesdays at 9:30am in Meeting Room A on the second floor. Over the course of the year, both groups will read the same 12 books but in a different order. This lively group, led by a CCPL librarian, enjoys a variety of fiction works as well as an occasional biography or work of nonfiction. Registration is not required. For more information, contact the Adult Services Department at 317.814.3988 or adultservices@carmelclaylibrary.org.
Program copies are distributed at the prior discussion, but copies may still be available. Please stop by the Adult Services Desk or call 317.814.3988 to ask about availability before placing a hold in the catalog.
