Midcoast Rotary Book Club

Midcoast Rotary Book Club members, currently of both the Camden and West Bay Rotary Clubs, meet the 2nd Tuesday of each month (except June - August), 4:30 p.m., in the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library. [NOTE: Presently, the Book Club is meeting via ZOOM, so if you would like to participate, please email Kristen who will forward the meeting call information!]
 
As you can see by our reading list shared here, we read both fiction and non-fiction; the book to be discussed is chosen by a member at the previous month's meeting. List is reverse-chronological by year (most current year first).  All interested Rotarians are welcome. FMI: Contact Kristen Lindquist at kelindquist@gmail.com
