BOOK GROUP MEETS AGAIN

After a summer hiatus, the Bremen Library book discussion group will resume meeting on Wednesday Sept. 20 at 3:00.
The book we will read and discuss is To Remember Forever by Gladys Hasty Carroll. This is a memoir of college life in Maine during 1922-1923. Gladys Hasty Carroll has written a number of books set in Maine. This memoir will be an interesting look at college life for women in Maine in the early 20th century, and should lend itself to a lively discussion. Copies of the book are available at the library.
At this upcoming meeting we will make a reading list for the coming year, so bring your suggestions for any titles you would like the group to read in coming months.
The book group meets monthly from Sept.- May reading books recommended by the members.
If you love to read and discuss books come join the group.
