The Gering Public Library sponsors the Food for Thought book discussion group, where readers can come together and talk about books and express their opinions. The group meets on the fourth Thursday, except in November and December, at 1:30 p.m in the community room. Copies of the books may be reserved by calling the library at 436-7433.
Upcoming Book Discussion dates
Choose a book that was written the year you were born, and read it this year when you get a chance. Each month we will give people an opportunity to talk about the book they read. A librarian can help you find a list of books published the year you were born, and they can also help you locate a copy of your selection if you need help doing so.
