The So Many Books, So Little Time Book Club has been meeting as a group since March of 2006. It is affiliated with Hastings First Methodist Church, but has been meeting at the library for over a year. Anyone interested in books that hit the best seller lists are welcome to join in the discussions when the group meets on the 4th Thursday of the month at 10:00 a.m. If you are looking for new authors to try in a genre you enjoy you might find some of the group’s previous titles and authors grab your interest.
