NNN Book Club

 

Members, volunteers, and friends are welcome to join the NNN book club. We read for entertainment and enlightenment. We gather via Zoom at 1pm on the 4th Monday of the month to talk about the book and life experiences that relate to it.


We try to choose books easily available in the King County and Sno-Isle Library systems rather than buying a new book monthly. Help is available for securing a book if needed.


The mix of media (paper, audio, electronic) chosen by our members makes for additional insights (and knowledge about how to pronounce, spell, define words) that adds to the pleasure of the discussions.
