SUNDAY REVIEW / BOOK CLUBS IN SAN DIEGO


Mission Valley Public Library
JOIN A BOOK CLUB--Looking to expand your social circles?  Want to add some intellectual stimulation outside of staring at your TV, computer, and/or movie screens?  Join a book club.  Two things happen.  By joining a book club you increase your chances of meeting other like-minded persons, who are new to you.  And, it gets your act out of the house, which is also good.

New is good.
