Library Book Club – Get Involved!
Meetings are held on Mondays (generally the first Monday unless there’s a holiday) at 4:00 pm.
Come join us in the Patio Room at the Garden Center (10120 Lomas in Albuquerque between Wyoming and Eubank) to sample some great books. No need to belong to a plant club or society although it is a great way to meet members of them.
We sell copies of all the books in the Garden Shop at 10% off list up until the night the book is read. And, remember, as a non-profit, our books are sold tax-free.
Don’t have time to read the book? No worries, just come join us for conversation and light snacks. We begin each session with about 10 or 15 minutes of video related to the book so you can learn a bit from that as well as from the discussion.
