KENNEBUNK — Come one, come all (even if you didn’t finish or disliked the book), as the Kennebunk Free Library has a full lineup of book for its popular Book Club the second half of 2017.
Discussions take place on Tuesdays from 1 to p.m. at Kennebunk Free Library.
If you’ve been interested in attending a book discussion but have been hesitant to try, give the Book Club a shot. It’s all the fun of reading and talking about a book without any of the homework.
If you prefer to just listen you can come and do that too. The library encourages different perspectives and strive for a variety of genres including classics, science fiction, historical fiction, graphic novels, psychological fiction and the list goes on.
Participants also are welcome to provide input for future book discussion titles. Also, check out the Book Club’s Non-Fiction Book Group held the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
Copies of the books will be available to you to check out on your library card each month.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
