Since it is at noon, can I eat my lunch?

Where can I find a book to read and discuss?
Short answer, anywhere!
Each month, the ULethbridge Library will have a display of books for inspiration but book club participants are not limited to read a book from the ULethbridge's collection. You can read and discuss a book from your own collection, one borrowed from a friend, or from another library. Lethbridge Public Library (LPL) is a great option for borrowing books -- if you don't have an LPL or Chinook Arch Regional Library System card, ask at the Library Services Desk about the TAL card; it's free! To purchase books, the ULethbridge Bookstore, Analog Books, or Chapters are local bookstores; however, purchasing the book you discuss is not necessary!
