The Wolfner Library Book Club
Wolfner's book club offers titles covering multiple genres for your reading pleasure. You will find selections from history, mystery, romance and suspense, just to name a few.
We encourage all members to participate in the live book club discussions held using the Zoom platform. Patrons can also call Wolfner Library to be connected to the meeting by phone.
Don't want to discuss the book with others? That's okay, too. You can still join the club and enjoy the pre-selected titles.
