Great Books Discussion Group-480-350-5507- The Great Books Foundation promotes reading, thinking, and the sharing of ideas for people of all ages. Readers across the country reaffirm for themselves that discussing their favorite book in a Great Books group is a powerful instrument for personal growth and social engagement.

Come and nourish yourself with great literature on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 7pm in the Youth Services Meeting Room.  Volunteers Kathy and Don Dietz serve as discussion leaders.  Participants provide their own copies of the works to be discussed.
