South Bowie Fiction

Click the links to register for the November and December Book Discussions on the PGCMLS website below.

• November: A Song of Comfortable Chairs by Alexander McCall Smith
• December: The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris

We meet monthly, usually on the 2nd or 3rd Saturday afternoon at the South Bowie Branch Library. Each month we read a fiction title spanning a range of sub-genres, so expect variety throughout the year. This is a great opportunity to read a book you may not normally pick up. You are not required to have finished the book to participate, but you must be okay with spoilers.

All books are available through the PGCMLS catalog. If your local branch does not have a copy, you can reserve one from another branch or request it through Interlibrary Loan at pgcmls.info.
