Join us for the Monthly Monday Morning Book Club!

Discover both classic and contemporary reads each month. Books will be available for pickup one month in advance—just stop by the front desk to grab your copy!

This month's book is Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin.

San Francisco, 1976. A naïve young secretary, fresh out of Cleveland, tumbles headlong into a brave new world of laundromat Lotharios, pot-growing landladies, cutthroat debutantes, and Jockey Shorts dance contests. The saga that ensues is manic, romantic, tawdry, touching, and outrageous—unmistakably the handiwork of Armistead Maupin.
