All Iowa Reads Book Discussion – The 2024 discussion will occur during the April Monthly Book Club meeting on Tuesday, April 16 from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm in the Library Community Room.
The purpose of All Iowa Reads is to foster a sense of unity through reading. The Iowa Center for the Book encourages Iowans statewide to come together in their communities to read and talk about a single book title in the same year. The Perry Public Library participates in this program on an annual basis.
Quarterly Classics Book Club - The Quarterly Classics Book Club meets on the second Tuesday of January, April, July, and October; usually from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm at the Carnegie Library Museum.
This book club is for adults who enjoy reading the classics. Join volunteer discussion leader and retired librarian Jill Cook to discuss the selected book and socialize with others. For more information contact the library at 515-465-3569.
