Mystery & Thriller Book Discussion Group In-Person
The Mystery & Thriller Book Discussion Group meets on the third Wednesday evening of every month (except July and August) at 6:30 pm in the Residential Properties Meeting Room, unless otherwise noted. This group alternates between a mystery and a thriller title each month. Librarian Ben Hanley facilitates the group and provides discussion questions.
Free and open to adults. Space is limited. If registration is full, please contact Ben Hanley at bhanley@barringtonlibrary.org or 401-247-1920 ext. 2 to be placed on the waitlist. Email is required for the facilitator to send out group notices or communications. Library staff are available to help participants obtain library copies of each book, but it is ultimately the responsibility of each participant to secure their own copy of the book.
