Join a novel walking book club that covers more than novels! Come as we share whatever book we are reading or listening to lately to share passions, narratives, clever information, or artistry. Let’s learn from each other!

Walking outside is the ultimate exercise and an ideal way to socialize and relieve stress. So engage your physical, social, and mental/intellectual health in one go!

Rendezvous outside Central Library. From there, we will take various routes, walking a stretch before occasional pauses to take turns speaking. Expect to be back at the library in one hour. This event recurs every third Thursday of the month.

For questions, connection, or optional registration, contact the Business, Science, & Technology Department (BST) at [email protected] or (410) 396-5317.

Librarians from BST and the Fiction departments will be facilitating.
