Book Brunch January 2024
A new year welcomed a new format for Book Brunch - in-person only in the fireplace room. There was coffee, delicious snacks and lots of books shared. Julie and I shared 10 books each and then heard from others what they have read recently, to create a nice list to start off the year with. Our next Book Brunch will be Friday, March 15th at 10:30am. Please register if you plan to come - so we have enough seats! https://chelmsfordlibrary.libcal.com/event/11886773
