Young Adults Book Club @ Eaton Library

For young adults 18–30, every 3rd Thursday, 5:30–7:00pm

Book Club is a relaxed space to connect over stories and ideas – no set reading list, no pressure. The first 30 minutes are dedicated to silent reading (bring your own or look at one from the library), followed by bookish activities. Come solo or bring a friend – we’ll make sure you’re included.
