Join one or more of our free book clubs. Each weekday we'll e-mail you a five-minute portion of a book. During the week you can read two or three chapters and decide if you want to check out the book. Every Monday, start a new book. Sign up today and start reading!
BookPage, a book review publication, is available in the library compliments of the Friends of Mead Public Library, or online.
Join us on Twitter (meadlibrary) and get the latest news about events at Mead Library. Plus you'll get a tweet each weekday with a link to one of our new books. Give it a try and keep in touch!
