In 2009, the Friends began its own book club, Through the Mind’s Eye. Membership in Friends is not required to join our book club. The group selects books from a number of different genres and meets at the library the first Thursday of each month at 10 am. Below is the list the book selections and when they will be discussed – clicking the image will open a new window with information about the books in Goodreads (FOL does not require the use of Goodreads or any other site to purchase or review books).
