Let's get some fresh air, explore Old Town, and talk about the latest books we've been reading!

We meet every first Tuesday in front of the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library to explore Old Town, head to nearby parks, coffee shops, or gardens, and chat about the latest books we've been reading!

(If it's too hot or raining outside, meetings will be hosted inside the library. Skie will send registrants an email the week before letting you know the plan and a reminder email the day before with a weather update.)

If you have any questions about the program, please reach out to Skie Thorp at kthorp@alexlibraryva.org.
