Book Discussions
Join the Conversation
Book discussions are held at 10:00 am in the Wisner Center at the Cascade Library. They are held on the third Wednesday of the month. If you would like to join the book discussions, you can simply show up at the next scheduled discussion. No registration is required.
We encourage attendees to read ahead of the schedule, if possible, since some titles may be in short supply near the discussion date.

USED BOOK Sales
The Date for the Next Big Sale Is ?????
The library is scheduled for an internal refresh in the first half of 2025, which will make it impractical for us to have an inside book sale until the dust settles. So, we'll wait and see if there's enough time for a sale in advance of the big Fourth of July sale or just wait until the Fourth. Once we know, we'll let all of our members and library patrons in on the secret.
