December Book Discussion Group

Please join us for our December book discussion! This discussion is open to the public, and you don't need to register in advance. Just read the book and come prepared to meet new people and take part in a lively discussion.

The morning book discussion group will not meet in December, but the evening book discussion group will read The Paper Bag Christmas by Kevin Alan Milne. Publisher's Weekly says, "In this affable yuletide yarn, brothers Aaron and Molar are understandably preoccupied with the material side of Christmas, until they meet Dr. Ringle, a shopping mall Santa who is also a doctor at a local children's cancer ward. Dr. Ringle encourages them to volunteer at the ward from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and especially encourages their friendship with two children: recalcitrant and angry Katrina, whose postsurgical scarring leaves her afraid to be seen without a paper bag on her head, and effusively optimistic Madhu, who does not understand the story of Christmas. The story is unexpectedly heartwarming, and Milne mostly avoids sap while delivering his warm fuzzies and dashes of Christmas hope and magic."

The evening book discussion group meets on Wednesday, December 12 at 6:30 p.m.
