St. Andrew’s Book Club
We thank everyone who joined us this year to discuss the books chosen. It has been a pleasure serving your needs and hearing your perspectives.
While your book club is taking a well-deserved break over the summer months, we wanted to leave you with some possible titles, in no particular order, for your own "beach reads". Enjoy with our compliments. We will be back in September and invite you, your family and your friends to join us.
