Reading Club – Fall
You can join The Red Rock Public Library’s Reading Club at any time!
Our theme for October is:
“Fresh Perspective!”
Stories told from multiple perspectives. .
Our meeting will take place October 7th so come and visit our Reading Club dedicated display to choose your title!

We select a diverse range of books from The Red Rock Public Library’s collection with a theme in common, covering different genres, cultures, periods, etc.
After a few weeks we meet at the library to discuss the books we read over some light refreshments!
The guidelines are informal- you can read more than one of the book selections if you are an avid reader (but please only borrow one book at a time!) Busy month and you couldn’t finish your pick? You can still join us to discuss our reading!
