Want to be in a book group?

The Jones Library welcomes everyone to its adult book clubs. Don’t see one that interests you? Let us know and we’ll consider starting one.

· Jones Library Classics Book Club
This club reads books widely considered classics in the English and American traditions. Recent selections include: David Copperfield, Portrait of a Lady, To the Lighthouse, and Middlemarch.

In October 2013, we'll be reading Light in August by William Faulkner. When in session, the group meets on Saturdays in the Jones Library from 2:30 to 4:00 pm.

For more information, contact Jones Library staff member Seth Rothberg at 413-259-3092 or rothbergs@joneslibrary.org, or visit our Classics Book Club blog.

The books for the first four months are Frankenstein, The Last of the Mohicans, Silas Marner, and two short stories by Edgar Allen Poe.
