Book Club is held on the 2nd Monday of EVEN months at 4:00 PM. We meet at the museum on the 2nd floor. Membership is open to anyone in the community who’d like to join. We have a lending library and usually have our book club reads available for borrowing or for sale in the museum gift shop. If you plan to join us, please send an email to polkgahistory (at) gmail (dot) com, or simply show up for the meeting. All are welcome!
