No Club Book Club

Welcome to the No Club Book Club, a book club with no commitment and no meetings!

Enjoy book club selections without the meeting. We will select a monthly book club selection on the first of each month; you check it out from the library (monthly selections will be available at the circulation desk and online, if available.) Join our Facebook group if there is anything you’d like to discuss, all without leaving the comfort of your internet connection!

For more information, contact Joe St. Germain at 978-671-0948 ext. 4101 or email him at jstgermain@billericalibrary.org.

April’s book is Dogtripping : 25 rescues, 11 volunteers, and 3 RVs on our Canine Cross-Country Adventure by David Rosenfelt..
