 Revelation Readers
The library hosts a book club, The Revelation Readers which meet on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 1:00-2:30p.m. Revelation Readers seek God in contemporary fiction. Book Club picks are announced in advance in the Open Door Newsletter and the group is open to anyone who wishes to read the book and drop in for a discussion. Members are on their own to acquire the book, though often there is at least one copy available from our library.
