BOOK CLUBS

American Lives Discussion

This group meets on the Second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm on Zoom. The American Lives group will be a little different than a typical book group. It will focus on the person rather than the book. Choose to read one or more biographies about our subject, each book on the list presents an different view. This will prompt lively discussions facilitated by Bill Wilson. To get the Zoom link, email mpl@als.lib.wi.us.

Participants are invited to read additional biographies as well.
