Readers’ Circle Returns!

posted on - August 19, 2026

Are you eager to get your hands on recent (published within the past several years) bestsellers and share your thoughts with our library book club? If so, you are more than welcome to join us as we launch this year’s theme for Readers’ Circle : Bestseller Bound.

The books are loosely aligned with seasonal themes and the January title is co-sponsored by the annual Camden Conference. 

With one exception, due to Thanksgiving, we will be meeting every final Thursday of the month at 5:30pm here at the library.

To learn more about the selected books, click on the titles listed below:

 

September’s book: 5:30pm on Thursday, Sept. 24th

  • Tara Westover’s Educated: A Memoir (2018)

 

October’s book: 5:30pm on Thursday, Oct. 29th

  • Liz Moore’s The God of the Woods (2024)

 

December’s book: 5:30pm on Thursday, Dec. 3rd

  • Samantha Harvey’s Orbital (2023)

 

January’s book: 5:30pm on Thursday, Jan. 28th

  • James McBride’s The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store (2023)
  • Co-sponsored by the 2027 Camden Conference: this year’s theme is “Beyond the American Century: A New World Order.”

Stay tuned for even more popular bestsellers for Spring 2027 (February-May).

Readers’ Circle is open to all readers and meets in the Library on the Thursday nights listed above.

Happy Reading!
