Join a lively discussion group focused on history! Members are asked to read a book or article on the monthly topic and be prepared to tell the group about it, or just listen and learn. New members are welcome to join and experience history from many points of view on one topic - no other history book club offers this unique approach!

December Topic:  History of Holidays

Everyone is welcome, whether they read a book and want to share or they just want to listen and learn!

The December theme is History of Holidays.  Find a book that focuses on the history of your choice of holiday!  Why do we give chocolate on Valentine’s Day?  What is the back story to carving Jack-o’-lanterns at Halloween?  Share the backstory of your favorite holiday!

Need help finding a book?  Checkout a sampling of Melrose-owned books available through the library to get you started.  When in doubt, please contact the library (melref@noblenet.org or 781-665-2313).  The library is once again open to patrons, no appointments needed so come roam the stacks!  Alternatively, the library also offers e-books and e-audiobooks through Overdrive/Libby and Hoopla.

The in person meeting will take place on the main floor in the Dennis J. Kelley Room, located off of the main check out area.  For those not able to attend in person, we are also offering remote access via Zoom.  Regardless of how you will be attending, please sign below  so the library can accommodate all those planning to participate.
