The
Bookworms group is for all Centralites and friends who love to read
and talk about what they have read. We meet evenings, in members’
homes, on the fourth Tuesday of the month, September through May.
At our meetings, we discuss a book—fiction or nonfiction—previously
selected. Our meetings are very informal, with discussion often branching
out into diverse areas suggested by comments about the book. Discussion
is followed by refreshments and individual conversations; we enjoy
each other’s company. Upcoming book selections and author, along with
the date, time, and place, are announced regularly in The Weekly.
We Bookworms welcome newcomers. Becoming
a member of the group is easy: Simply show up at the next meeting,
no formal registration required, no application form to battle.
Any questions about the
Bookworms? Contact Betty or Henry Philler. Meetings are held at
7:30 p.m. unless otherwise announced. Books selected for this year,
