Book Club

Currently our library does not have an active Book Club.  If anyone is interested in starting a Book Club at the library, please contact us at 403-885-2343.  Other wise we will recommend Lacombe Public Library's Book Club - Their book club information is half way down on their main page.  Another alternative is a FREE online book club available through Camrose Public Library.  They subscribe ot an online book club service that has a variety of genre specific book clubs available.
