Hi Readers!
We met last night to choose the next selections (and enjoy a delicious potluck!) Here they are, in no particular order, except to be sorted by those with and without kits. We'll reserve the titles with kits for some months, and you can browse used book stores for copies of those without kits or access individual copies from the library. If we purchase 10 copies or collect $125, we can request the library purchase a kit of White Fragility.
