OPEN BOOK GROUP

Friends of Balmain Library Open Book Group read from a wide variety of literature and regularly meets for an enjoyable discussion and debate about the book chosen for the month. We are always "open" to new members

"Open" is the operative word in the format of this group. Members are welcome to come to any meeting they wish and so can balance work, family and other commitments without that guilty feeling.

There is a Moderator for each meeting and once the book has been reviewed there is a chance to socialise over some light refreshments. Books are chosen after suggestions from members and there is no charge.

Open Book Group meets at 1pm on the second Tuesday of the month. We gather in the Meeting Room situated immediately on your left as you enter Balmain Library.

The following have been selected for future meetings in 2011/12
