Library Book Club
Algona Public Library is pleased to offer a book club that is open to all!
Currently we meet the third Thursday of the month at 3 pm and 6 pm.

Simply contact Mara Strickler to reserve your copy of our next selection and sign-up for the discussion you'd prefer to attend. You're also welcome to join us in reading the book club selections if you're unable to attend a discussion. If you can only take part during part of the year, you're welcome to do so. You are under no obligation to read every book or attend every discussion group.

Please come, meet new people, discover a new author, and enjoy a lively discussion.
All are welcome!
