Book Discussion Groups
2026 Series: Curl Up With A Good BookJoin WHRL for a series of book discussions centered around the theme, Curl Up With a Good Book.
Our book discussion groups have become a community of their own, where participants know they will find social interaction, explore new ideas, and share experiences in a supportive, enjoyable environment. This year, we will foster the warmth and coziness of this community with a series of titles that are perfect for curling up on the couch and reading.
What makes a “comfort read,” and how does it differ from reader to reader? What brings us back to titles that we love throughout the years? Which books do we look to when we need a break from the challenges of our lives, and why? We will examine these and other questions through discussion of a diverse set of books that nourish us, delight us, and carve out a space for us to rest within their worlds.
-
- There are three facilitated discussions per book.
- Discussion groups are small & intimate — no more than ten people, including the facilitator.
- After registering, participants will receive their own copy of the book.
Can’t join? You can follow along by checking out a copy of the book at the Milbridge Public Library, Henry D. Moore Library, Gallison Library, or the Cherryfield Public Library.
Book Groups are open to anyone age 18 or older for whom "woman" is a meaningful identifier or lived experience.
Our book discussion group meets for three sessions. Please register only if you can commit to attending all sessions.
Imagine the community you want.
Together, we can create it.
