About "Bookmarks & Bonding"There's been a lot of interest in a community-focused event to meet neighbors who love to read. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends and deepen connections.
No book discussion necessary — just bring your enthusiasm and readiness to connect with those around you. This event will be less formal than our book discussions, and people can come and go as they feel.
