Book Club
The SIR Book Club groups meet monthly to discuss a selected book, either fiction or non-fiction, usually the choice of the host SIR for the month. Book group size maxes out at 10 members. Meeting dates and times vary from group to group and are normally posted on our branch calendar.
Join us. We know we have learned much in the years we have been together. We welcome new members
