BOOK GROUPS

There are six active book groups between the Main and Endicott libraries:

a Tuesday morning book group;
a Tuesday night coed book group;
a Wednesday night coed book group;
a Tuesday night women's book group;
and a Thursday night moms' book group.

To sign up for a group, email dplbookgroups@yahoo.com or call (781) 751-9288
(for Main book groups) or (781) 751-9178 (for Endicott book groups).

We try to order plenty of books for the group ahead of time.
You can pick up books for the groups which meet at Endicott on the bookcases
in the meeting room, generally a month before each group; at the main, the books
are kept on the shelves at the reference librarian's desk. If you'd like a book ordered
and sent to another library, just ask.

See below for the current group schedules, and / or check our current calendar:
