Senior Center: Video and Book Discussion Group

Seniors, join the video and book discussion group, at the Newton Senior Center. The former video discussion group will take a new twist where participants will view films and read the books on which they are based. In some instances, there are two movies based on the same book (a more recent remake) and the group will view both. 

All books are available at the Newton Free Library/Minuteman Library Network in regular edition, large print, and books on tape/CD. 

The group will meet on Tuesday afternoons from 1 to 3:30 p.m. from June 14 through July 19.
