A book club walks into a brewery…
Library + Brewery = Fun!
Is your life too busy and hectic these days to read a book once a month?
Well, how about a short story instead? Everyone deserves a little ‘me time’.
Join us every second Monday of the month at 6:30pm for a night of discussion, trivia & more…
Traditionally, this event would take place at Sawmill Brewing Co.; however, due to the COVID-19, we are currently continuing this program by meeting on the Library lawn. Bring a lawn chair. If it rains, we will proceed into the Community Room.
For more details, contact Sarah at the Library (715-536-7191 or smaerz@tbscottlibrary.org).
