In 2008, Cary Memorial Library established a Non-Fiction Book Group for people who are interested in reading and discussing books about current events, important issues, scientific discoveries, intriguing individuals, and histories of every kind.

In addition to selecting individual titles, the group may consider reading multiple books on particular themes such as the Gilded Age, food and cooking, power couples, the American Revolution, literary biography, world history, and nature and science topics.

The Nonfiction Book Group normally meets on the last Monday of the month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the Learning Center. New members are welcome. If you would like to be on the e-mail distribution list, send a message to Linda at lcarroll@minlib.net.
