Book Clubs
Our Afternoon Book Club welcomes all participants and is open to both patrons of the Dyer Library and non-cardholders. Meetings will almost always take place on the first Thursday of every month at 4:00 p.m. in the Board Room.
Our Afternoon Book Club is now on pause for the summer months. We will resume again in September with a new list of books for the 2025-2026 year!
