Two monthly book discussion groups will soon be starting up at the White Salmon Valley Community Library including some author visits.
The selected titles will introduce you to a wide range of writers and topics giving you an opportunity to read and discuss some authors you may not have tried before including local and regional authors, and authors who are nationally and internationally renowned.
Multiple copies of all books are provided by the library. Books for the first Tuesday evening discussion are currently available at the library's front desk.
The evening group will meet from January through May on the third Tuesday of the month at 5:30 p.m. The afternoon group will meet on selected Saturdays at 1 p.m. February through May.
Both groups meet at the library in the Sprint/Baker Gallery.
