The Gilroy Library Book Club meets on the last Tuesday of every month, from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. New members are always welcome. A librarian facilitates the group but discussion is freewheeling and member-driven.
Books are selected by club members and purchased by Friends of the Gilroy Library for Book Club use. Books are available (a month at a time) at the Information Desk. Please feel free to join us for a lively discussion!ο»Ώ
