Lunchtime Book Club

RT Library Lunchtime Book Club

Bring your lunch and join us for the Lunchtime Book Club. We meet at Rockaway Township Library on the third Tuesday afternoon each month from 11:45am – 1:00pm.

Registration is not required: you are welcome to join us for any discussion.

RT Library obtains copies of each month’s selection which are then borrowed by book club members.

For more information, call the library at 973-627-2344 or email us at rockawaytwplibrary@rtlibrary.org.

Please make sure to give your e-mail to Pierre so that he can sign you up for our Lunchtime Bookclub’s e-newsletter to get special announcements and last minute book club meeting date changes.
