Book Discussion Group
About the Group
Lakeland Library's Book Discussion Group began in the Fall 2003. The Book Discussion Group selects works from a variety of genres. Members choose books that interest them from different genres and read a selection every 4-6 weeks. Members take turns presenting the book and leading the discussion. Many selections are complex; group discussion provides for a diversity of perspectives, making the Discussion Group a lively and rewarding experience. Click on the link to the left for more detail.
