Chat about what you are currently reading, and learn what others are reading too. This is a great way to discover new books. If interested, please email Lbowen@kawarthalakeslibrary.ca. 2) Virtual Book Club. This book club is more 'traditional' - a title is selected which everyone reads and meets via Zoom to discuss. This group meets once a month on Wednesdays at 2pm. If interested, please email Lbowen@kawarthalakeslibrary.ca 3) Little Britain Virtual Book Club. Everyone reads the same book and meets via Zoom to discuss. This group meets once a month on Monday mornings at 10:30am.
