How much can you read in 72 hours? Put yourself to the test this summer. On July 15, we’ll meet to discuss our reading plans and recommend books to each other. On July 18, time’s up and we’ll talk about how it went, what we read, and what we liked. Everyone who comes to both sessions will be entered for a drawing for a $50 Book Bin Gift certificate. Are you up to the challenge?
