Gilmore Girls Book Club
Meets bi-monthly
A new take on book club for patrons age 13+ and families. Gilmore Girls fans young and old, will come together to create a special treat inspired by the show, watch an episode, and talk about the books they are reading from Rory's famous reading list. While we won't be reading the same books at the same time like a traditional book club, our goal is to read as many books from her list before the end of the year. Special Note: Gilmore Girls is rated TV-PG. This program is designed for patrons 13 and up, especially for families (such as a mother, daughter, and a sophisticated grandmother) or friends (such as a book worm and drummer or inn manager and chef). Fans under the age of 13 require a parent or guardian.
