SCRABBLE CLUB
Play the board game Scrabble with other adults at the library. Scrabble Club meets on Tuesdays, September 9, October 14, and November 11 from 1:00-2:30pm.
POETRY CIRCLE
In Poetry Circle, we will share our poetry in a small group, write from prompts or our own inspiration, and learn about different aspects of poetry. This program is for adults only. Poetry Circle takes place on Fridays, September 26, October 24, and November 21, from 12pm-1:00pm. Bring a notebook, a pen or pencil, and any poetry you’d like to share — yours or your favorite by another writer.
READ AQUIET BOOK CLUB
The VDL’s newest book club is for silent reading. Bring your own book, and we’ll read together in silent camaraderie. After an hour of silent reading, there will be 30 optional minutes of casual conversation about what we’re reading. Read Aquiet Book Club is on fourth Mondays, September 22, October 27, and November 24, from 10:30am-12:00 noon.
BOOK BOXES FOR ADULTS
Book Boxes contain books based on personalized recommendations from criteria that you specify, all inside a box with treats: salty, sweet, and a little surprise. Registration is limited to 5 boxes per month. Registration for Book Boxes is now closed and will reopen on November 2.
How Book Boxes work: Book Boxes are for adults 18+ only. You tell us your reading preferences – what you’re looking for and what you’re not looking for – and you’ll get a box with three surprise library books and some treats. The books and boxes are checked out like any other library book and returned on their due date.
WRITERS’ MOTIVATIONAL GROUP
A writers’ group where members discuss and practice writing, encourage one another, report progress, and respond to short writing prompts. This program is for adults only. We meet from 4:00-5:00pm on Thursdays, September 11, October 9, & November 13.
BOOK CLUB FOR ADULTS
The Vicksburg District Library’s Book Club for Adults meets on the first Thursday of the month from 9:30 – 10:30am. Our November meeting will be on November 6. Coffee, tea, and breakfast treats are provided. Newcomers are always welcome. For our November meeting, we will read and discuss “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls. Book Club for Adults is for adults 18+ only.
At the November meeting, Book Club will also decide on books for the next 6 months (or so). Bring the titles and brief descriptions of two or three books that you’ve read that you think will provide good substance for a group discussion. Members will vote at the end of the meeting.
