Good for you, Amy! I'll be interested in how it goes and other
programming you might do around it.

Seattle Public Library has some great info that helped me when I first
started the APL book groups:

I think doing the book groups is the thing I miss most in my job as
director - there's just not time for me to do the reading and prep. Plus
I wanted staff to see how much fun it can be!

The date is great, esp. because I couldn't seem to "edit" my calendar.
This saves me the hassle.
I've volunteered to host a book discussion group for our One County Reads
title, Three Cups of Tea. It's only at our branch, probably a small group,
but does anyone have hints about what to avoid, or what gets people
talking?Carolyn, this is really your fault so you might share any
techniques you've learned! I'll have tons on the book and author, but it's
group dynamics, and silence, I'm concerned about. (I have one week to
prepare, and re-read the book.)

Ladies...we have a date!

We just confirmed with Anne and we have decided on July 30th-August 1st.  Please mark your calendars!
Unfortunately, Carolyn had a conflict she cannot change but since everyone else can make it, it is the best weekend for everyone else.  Maybe we can have a web cam or Carolyn can Skype in...just kidding...sorta...

More later!  Mary Ann

Getting together

Hi everyone - please do ahead without me. We have long standing plans to attend the Carmel Bach Festival with two other couples and my daughter and son-in-law!

I'll miss you and will look forward to a detailed report!

Wow...it looks like July 30-Aug 1 works best for everyone by Carolyn. Can
you rethink/replan Carolyn?

It is my anniversary weekend but Jeff will love any opportunity to skip
the anniversary and go skydiving...! ;-)

Will you review this again? Can anyone move a little so we can all get
together
