Women's Summer Book Chats
It's Summer...a fun season of beach trips, cookouts, flip-flops, and a good book. Join us for any or all of our summer book chats. We have some book options for those who love fiction and those who want to dig in a little deeper with a non-fiction novel.
This is a Book Chat, not a book club. There is no membership. If you are interested in participating or have questions, contact Laura Moore at lmoore@wpcgo.com.
