Join us at The Brenton Arboretum (25141 260th St, Dallas Center) at 2 PM on the second Monday of each month for a discussion of that month's book. We’ll meet inside the Arboretum's Vista Room for a book discussion, followed by a group walk on one of the trails (weather permitting). Going on the walk is entirely optional and not required to join this book club. If you do plan to walk, please bring water and wear suitable footwear and clothing.
Copies of each month's book may be picked up at the Library's front desk or at The Brenton Arboretum during the meeting, while supplies last. Find current and upcoming book club reads at waukeepubliclibrary.org/BookClubs.
