Book Clubs

MLNV is home to several book clubs; all meetings are currently taking place in the library. New members are always welcome!!  More information on each discussion group is available below.

Brainy Bibliophiles

Brainy Bibliophiles is led by Jill Silvius, Ph.D. and takes a more scholarly approach to book discussions.

The group reads a mix of fiction, nonfiction, and classics – usually texts that are longer, more theoretical, and/or more complex than you might find in another book group.

The group meets in-person at 6:00PM on select dates in the living room.

Registration is recommended.
