SUMMARY:Bethany Book Club - The Searcher
DESCRIPTION:The Bethany Book Club will meet in the first floor Community Room at 2:00 PM. The Searcher\, by Tana French will be discussed at this meeting. Copies of the book will be available at the Library’s main desk; call the Library at 203-393-2103 with any questions regarding book availability.If you do not enjoy a selected book\, try the “Rule of 65”! Soldier on for the first 65 pages. If you still don’t like the book\, let it go – there are too many books to read to stick with something you definitely don’t like.
