Hello Reading Challenge Participants!

Our next book discussion is “The Stories of John Cheever” to be held on Thursday, May 12th at the Branigan Library Board Room @ 2:00pm. 

There are sixty-one stories, so we may have to choose a few to discuss and then continue by discussing the book as a whole...
