All: We will be hunting for new discussion books and new volunteers for 2022. Step up! If you’ve read a book that will attract the community and for which you want to lead a discussion, let me know which one, why it matters and why the library might be interested. The library — Perrot or Greenwich — ultimately decides which discussions to schedule. Look forward to hearing from you! ~~ Diane Morello
