First Wednesday Afternoon Book Group
Facilitator: Jennifer Bradley
Contact: books1stwedafternoon@aauwprescott.net
The First Wednesday Afternoon Book Group members enjoy reading a variety of books, including fiction and non-fiction both contemporary and classic. Our discussions are lively and sometimes unprecedented! After meeting via Zoom for what seemed like “forever” we have resumed meeting in person in members’ homes and in outdoor settings, and we will continue until/unless Covid numbers make it necessary to Zoom once again.
