Certain book lovers, led by a few creative members of the Friends of the Oglelthorpe County Library, decided they wanted to have a book club, but did not want the pressure of reading a book somebody else has decided for them. Here was one of several ideas for the function of such a group:
Anyone who would like to come should be here. If you want some nibbles, bring them. If you want to bring a book to talk about, please do (after all, that is supposed to be the general idea of the group). But, if you would rather just hear great ideas from others, enjoy a snack and be part of the fun ... that's fine, too.
"No-Pressure Book Group" was the provisional name and concept of the group choosen at the first meeting. But judging from the images taken at that event, seen below, one might doubt the seriousness of that decision.
What next for this, the second meeting? We have received a nomination for the name and intent of future monthly meetings of the No-Pressure Book Group. That image appears to be of a poster, prehaps hanging now in the Library. The text is similar to that of the earlier proposal above. It is present in an Event Page in the Oglethorpe County Library webpages under the title "A Novel Idea" for the month of March.
What if you never had to read a book, or at least do something else with it? What if you could let dinner burn at home while in pleasant company here, and get credit for it? Here is your chance to help create and sustain a monthly meeting of book lovers and have an impact of what it will do.
A Novel Idea, The No-Pressure Book Group: Thursday, March 19, 2020 at 6:00 pm. Repeats every month on the third Thursday.
Parking on site is limited. Overflow parking is across the street in the church parking lot
