Camden Winter Reading Club

The library is offering a Winter Reading Club for adults.

"We have a 'winter mix' of good books for your reading enjoyment," said Shirley Schock, librarian. "To take part, we ask that you read two books a month."

The club will last two months. It started Feb. 25 and will go through April 25. Patrons can sign up anytime.

The theme for the club is "Winter Into Spring: There's Snow Better Time to Read."

Delphi Public

Evening Book Club will meet Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. to discuss the Jane Austen classic "Northanger Abbey."

Singer songwriter Scott Greeson will perform at the Coffee Beat March 8 at 7 p.m. Greeson's music is best described as poetic snapshots of folks living in America's heartland.

The coffee and music are free. Desserts are available for a nominal fee.

Faith Based Book Club meets to discuss books which encourage exploration and probe topics of the Christian faith. The next meeting for the group is March 13 at 9 a.m. Patsy Scott will lead a discussion of "When Invisible Children Sing" by Dr. Chi Huang.
