South Manatee Library Book Discussion Group Series: Alice Hoffman

The Friends of the South Manatee Branch Library are pleased to announce their “Author Who....” series book discussion group meetings, to be held in the library's meeting room on the fourth Friday each month (except for the month of June, on which the meeting will start on the third Friday) starting at 10:00 a.m. 

This is a monthly program for people who enjoy the works of popular authors. The Friends will lead a presentation regarding the interesting, curious, and sometimes remarkable facts about the author, followed by an engaging group discussion! 

The next six authors whose work will be discussed in the group meeting will be: 

• Alice Hoffman on Friday, January 25
• Malcolm Gladwell on Friday, February 22
• Peter Matthiessen on Friday, March 22
• Carl Hiaasen on Friday, April 26
• Edith Wharton on Friday, May 24
• Julian Barnes on Friday, June 21

The FREE book discussion group is open to everyone, with seating available on a first come, first serve basis. 

Special programs such as this are made possible by funds generously provided by the Friends of the Library. The Friends are a support organization for Manatee County’s South Manatee Branch Library. Monies raised by the Friends go toward programs and services that tax dollars alone cannot provide. 

The South Manatee Branch Library is located at 6081 26th Street West in Bradenton, Florida. Please call 941.755.3892 for more information
