Welcome all readers

The HW Book Club has revised book selection discussions for May and June. Due to the Londonderry Library closure, we are returning to previously missed book discussions.  We are currently using private zoom meetings for the monthly book discussions. On 5/18, we will discuss the previous selection of Panchinko. Many book club members were not able to attend the February discussion. Any HW residents who would like to attend this discussion should email Liz Lannigan at lglannigan@gmail.com by 4 pm on 5/18. Liz will send a zoom invite to those wanting to join this privacy protected meeting.

For the month of June, the book discussion will be Small Great Things that was to be discussed at the March meeting.

If you are interested in joining the HW Book Club, please join a meeting even if you have not read the book. The discussions are always interesting. Give the HW Book Club a try.
