Who picked this book? Club

Who picked this book? Club is our longest running book club. Participants are encouraged to pick up a book in advance and attend the in-person discussion. Print copies are generally available to check out the day after the previous month's book club. For those living in Altoona or rural Polk county, ebook and eaudiobook editions may also be available on Bridges or hoopla. 

The book is the same for both Who Picked this Book? Club and Booked for Lunch. To ensure we have space for all interested readers, please plan to attend one.

This month we're reading First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston.
