All are welcome to participate in the Zumbro Readers book discussion group, which meets on the second Wednesday of each month from 12:30-1:30pm in the Kairos Room.
Readers may participate as their schedule allows and according to their interest in selected titles. You can obtain your own copy of the books or the group will be getting several copies of most of the books from the Rochester Public Library's Book Club in a Bag. These books will be available at the meeting the month prior to that book's discussion. Any of the remaining books will be left in a basket with a sign out sheet in Zumbro's Main Office. The books must be returned to the basket on or before that book's discussion date. Current schedule:
