Up All Night Book Group
Aplington and Parkersburg Public Libraries are joining together to start an evening book group: Up All Night.
This group meets the last Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at Kothe Public Library in Parkersburg. This group will focus mostly on mysteries, thrillers, and suspense books, but will be open to other genres.
Want to start another book group for a specific age or genre?
Contact Alexis Karsjens, the library director, at 319-347-2432 or inquire at the circulation desk.
