I know that the book groups at my library are all part of a campaign to encourage reading and library use, so I would imagine that most libraries would be glad to help. Good luck! :)Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-25425991229814368642012-06-06T22:59:38.583-04:002012-06-06T22:59:38.583-04:00Through your library, you say?

Sarah and I have worked so hard on our book group. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to hear how much it's enjoyed! It's those little positive reminders that are so important in life, isn't it? <br /><br />We DO have a group of amazing ladies, and you are one of them!! I will just say this here to everyone else who might happen upon this comment thread, because this forum doesn't allow you to actually hear Sue, but she has the most beautiful English accent that has persuaded the group on more than one occasion toward the book she wants, that combined with obvious intelligence! :o)<br /><br />Anyway, I could not figure out how to comment with my NYOBG profile, so I did so with my personal Disqus account. You're going to have show me that next time I see you, Sue! :o) Hopefully I don't have to create another Disqus account, because two twitter accounts and three blogs are quite enough for the moment.<br /><br />See you next Thursday,<br />JanLooks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-57095874074241472552012-06-06T18:30:41.739-04:002012-06-06T18:30:41.739-04:00Sounds like a great group!Sounds like a great group!Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-68179621553085590872012-06-06T17:08:22.534-04:002012-06-06T17:08:22.534-04:00What a great story and neat experience for your gr...What a great story and neat experience for your group!
