On the Same Page - FRIENDS OF THE CLAREMONT LIBRARY

The Friends of the Claremont Library sponsors the annual citywide reading program: Claremont: On the Same Page. We engage as many people as possible in the discussion of one book as the basis for a common experience. Local reading groups and educators are encouraged to read the book as part of their activities or curriculum. After the book is selected in September, a variety of local events are offered to discuss the book and topics related to it. All events are all free and open to the public. We would love you to join us in reading these books, and to attend as many events as possible.
