ACB Tucson's Book Club
The book club is open to everyone, not only to members of ACB or the visually impaired.
We are eager to take suggestions for new selections. The one restriction we have is that each book be available from the Talking Book Library and for download on the BARD website. The numbers with each one are the digital numbers and the descriptions are by BARD.
We hold the book club discussions right before our monthly ACB meetings end. You do not have to be an ACB member to join in the discussion. You can come to the monthly book club meetings or call in on our free telephone conferencing setup. You can chime in no matter where you live. The choice is yours and you don’t even have to comb your hair!
If you would like to join in call April Martin at 520-733-9685 or write to her at ashinholster @ earthlink.net and she will fill you in on additional details.
