Summer 2025 Bite-Sized Book Club

Join us for our summer-only bite-sized book club!  

Each week enjoy a different short read, then come discuss your thoughts with other adult readers.  We’ll have tasty treats, delightful discussions, and lots of summer-schedule-friendly fun!

The book club will meet Saturdays from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM from July 12 – August 2.

If you have questions, please email our Adult Services Librarian Sarah at sthompson@townhall.lib.wi.us.
