Adult Programs

Meet with your peers for a coloring session!

Shhh... We're Reading
Catch up on your reading and make some friends along the way!
Do you have trouble finding time to read? Does having another person nearby motivate you to get things done? If so, join us for an hour of reading and snacking on quiet foods followed by half an hour of social time chatting about books at the Depot.
This program takes place directly before Not Your Mother’s Book Club so you can choose to attend either or both of these clubs.
Not Your Mother's Book Club
A book club with edgier readers in mind.
If you like edgy stories and a variety of genres, join us for Not Your Mother’s Book Club! We meet on the second Thursday of the month at 6:30 pm at The Depot to discuss our current selection.
"Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she’s already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime. But she’s learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don’t have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie’s heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge."
Between the Lines Book Club
Read a variety of books with moderator Ron Nicholson!
BTL is a relaxed and friendly gathering of people who enjoy sharing comments, ideas and questions about a common book they have read. The group moderator engages the members in discussion while sharing background information about the author, story, time period and locale.
BTL has three meeting times available each month so there’s always a time that fits in your schedule!
"Malcolm Gephardt, handsome and gregarious longtime bartender at the Half Moon, has always dreamed of owning a bar. When his boss finally retires, Malcolm stretches to buy the place. He sees unquantifiable magic and potential in the Half Moon and hopes to transform it into a bigger success, but struggles to stay afloat. His smart and confident wife, Jess, has devoted herself to her law career. After years of trying for a baby, she is facing the idea that motherhood may not be in the cards for her. Like Malcolm, she feels her youth beginning to slip away and wonders how to reshape her future. Award-winning author Mary Beth Keane’s new novel takes place over the course of one week when Malcolm learns shocking news about Jess, a patron of the bar goes missing, and a blizzard hits the town of Gillam, trapping everyone in place. With a deft eye and generous spirit, Keane explores the disappointments and unexpected consolations of midlife, the many forms forgiveness can take, the complicated intimacy of small-town living, and what it means to be a family."
