Havre-Hill County Library book club begins Jan. 19 at 7 p.m.

The first book in the Havre-Hill County Library’s 2023 Winter Reading Series is “People of the Book” by Geraldine Brooks, and is available for checkout now. We will be discussing this title on Thursday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m., in the Havre-Hill County Library meeting room. Light refreshments will be served, and the next book, “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak, will be available for checkout. All are welcome to this free event.

The Winter Reading Series is a longstanding tradition dating back to the very origins of the Havre-Hill County Library. The program began with retired library director, Bonnie Williamson, almost 40 years ago, just before the city and county libraries merged in 1986 to form the Havre-Hill County Library we have now.

Our Jan. 19 discussion of “People of the Book” will mark our first Winter Reading Series event since March, 2020. We are thrilled to be resuming this program, and hope that it will provide entertainment and companionship during the cold winter months in Havre. There are very few activities cozier than reading a book.

Here is the schedule of our regular programming:

Books and Babies, Wednesdays, 10:15 a.m.

Story Time, Wednesdays, 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Block Party, Thursdays 3:30 p.m.
