The Great Books Discussion Group will meet IN PERSON.

This is a structured group that follows the Great Books program. Each month the group has focused discussions on a limited number of readings from the designated book. The smaller amount of reading allows the group to go more in depth with their analysis of the literature. The group generally meets the third Wednesday of the month, from 7:00 - 8:00pm, in the Community Room. For more information, email circulation@gpl.org or call the Circulation Desk at 978-448-1167.
