Abington's Saturday Book Group is back after a summer break!  Our Saturday Book Group is facilitated by Reference Librarian Robert Goodale.  This group explores a variety of fiction genres, as well as some nonfiction.   The book for this month's discussion is Funny Story by Emily Henry.  After a break-up with her fiance, Daphne begins a new job as a children's librarian.  Things get complicated when she ends up being roommates with the ex of the woman her fiance left her for in this romantic comedy.  Copies of this book are available at the library, and may also be available on Hoopla or Libby. No registration required.  All are welcome, whether you attended last year or if you are a newcomer!  If you have any questions, please reach out to our Reference Librarian by calling 781-982-2139 and asking for the Reference Desk or e-mailing [email protected]. https://abingtonpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/saturday-book-group-6/
