Everyone is welcome at Gere's BooksTalk book discussion group! Each week during our Fall/Winter session, we hear about some great reading material from a featured presenter. Popular topics include mysteries, biographies, classic literature worth rereading, time travel books and romance fiction. Our presenters range from Lincoln City Libraries staff, to local authors, to members of the public with special interests to share. Several times a year, we participate in a book-share session, with each participant bringing several titles to talk about with the group. There's no need to sign up in advance-we're casual, friendly and always happy to see a new face, so join us, on Monday afternoons from 2:30-4:00 p.m. at the Gere Branch Library -- 56th & Normal, and broaden your reading horizons. Approximately 5-10 regular attendees. Call 441-8560 for more information.
