Adult Book Club

New members are always invited to join. No registration is necessary and it's okay if you can't come to every meeting. Too busy to relax with a book? Try listening to an eaudio book downloaded with the Libby or Boundless apps. Library staff are available to assist you. You will need a library card to access the ebooks and eaudio books. If Oglesby Public Library is not your home library, inquire with your library about access to e-books or e-audio books.

Not Your Mother's Book Club is facilitated by Lynn Sheedy and Sarah Sadnick

This upbeat gathering of book enthusiasts enjoy a lively discussion of the montly book club book chosen by the members. Our in-depth discussions are served up with an appetizer or dessert and a non-alcholic themed beverage or mocktail.
