Books, Bites and Beverages!

First Drafts Book Club has something for everyone. Each month features a book from a different genre. On each second Thursday, we will have snacks and libations to fuel our conversations (and sometimes friendly debate) about that month's book.

If you need accommodations for a class or event, contact communications@pickeringtonlibrary.org or call 614-837-4104 ext. 221.
