Program Description

Event Details

 

Adults and older teens welcome. Young children may be brought in strollers but this is a program prioritized for adult discussion – if children are not developmentally able yet to participate quietly, we thank you for finding alternative care for them. Thank you for understanding.

 This event will take place off library premises. We will meet at the Enola Low Grade Trail entrance parking area found on 301 East State Street, Quarryville, PA.  Pace will be very moderate to accommodate the slowest walker. Our Walking Book Club combines the pleasures of reading, exercise, and companionship! This is a seasonal event. For this session, we will discuss The Last Garden in England by Julia Kelly. We will arrange for multiple copies to be available on Libby to read or listen to electronically, and we will have a few copies in the library system for checkout.

During our walk, we’ll discuss passages from the book. After our walk (roughly 20 minutes out and 20 back), anyone who wishes to bring a potluck snack in the parking lot is welcome to do so. We will also have a drawing at the end of this event for all registered participants. The prizes will include a Longwood Gardens family pass and a copy of the book.

Registration is required to be eligible for the drawing. Registration ensures that you will be notified for any changes due to weather conditions or other circumstances, so please consider registering on this site or call the Library for assistance. Please arrive on time at the starting point.
