Do you have questions about life?
Do you like looking at life through other people’s eyes?
Do you like to read?

The Newton County Library is partnering with Abbey Hospice in hosting a book club entitled “A New Chapter”. An invitation is extended to all to join this free book club which meets once a month to discuss a monthly selection.

Through the turning of pages, readers can expect to be engaged in works of fiction that help us understand the human experience. Whether you have recently lost someone in your life or are looking to find something to pass the time, this group might help you discover yourself and your new chapter.
