A special three-part community discussion of the historical masterpiece, "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett, will launch the Morro Bay Friends of the Library's Spring Series on March 3, to be followed by appearances and readings by two local authors in the Program Room of the Library at 625 Harbor St. All these programs are from 10 to noon, and everyone is invited to attend for free.
On March 24, the first local author to appear will be Ken Christensen, an accomplished landscape painter and author, who lives in San Luis Obispo. The next will be Gordon Snider, a Pismo Beach resident since 1999, whose latest novel, “The Hypnotist,” was published last year. He will appear on March 31. Read More
Ever read a wonderful book and wish you could talk about it with someone and share the joy that only a book holds? Or ever have someone tell you about a good book and after falling in love with it, you shudder that otherwise you would might never have discovered it?
If either of those situations clicks with you, then the Morro Bay Friends of the Library have just the right book discussions coming up. Participants can either tell about books that have impressed them or just listen and find out about books that may impress you.
Normally, there are assigned books that the regular discussion groups review and discuss on those Wednesdays. But no books were assigned this month, so anyone can come and share their own individual choices this time.
The Friends have a range of offerings for anyone who likes the idea of discussing books they just read, who just wants to learn more about a book before reading it or who wants to meet and hear local authors describe their books and experiences behind them. The regular Friends schedule calls for:
Discussion groups to meet regularly each Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon.
--On the first and third Wednesdays, the basic readers discussion group meets to discuss certain assigned books that participants have planned to read and then discuss.
--The second Wednesdays are "Inspirational Wednesdays," which are devoted to reviewing and discussing thought-provoking books from leading authors who are guides to change, growth and self-acceptance. It presents an opportunity for readers to reflect and enjoy the opportunity of discussing books that can help change our world for the better.
--On the fourth and fifth Wednesdays, the Friends host local authors or artists who share their talents through readings, conversations, special presentations, demonstrations, and/or workshops.
The programs are all free and open to everyone. More information on book lists, discussion dates, and/or the events schedule is available at Friends of the Library.org.
