Fall schedule for Bethany Books Talk!

Bethany Books Talk welcomes everyone for a morning of good books. For the past seven years, speakers have presented a group of books, sometimes with a theme and sometimes not. These informal presentations allow for good conversation as well. The Bethany Books Talk group meets every Friday morning, at the Bethany Branch Library -- 1810 N. Cotner Blvd., beginning at 10:30 A.M., unless otherwise noted. Come join us! Call 402-441-8550 for more information.
