The Non-Fiction Book Group, sponsored by the Friends of the Wentworth Library, was happy to be back in the library for our meeting on May 7 to discuss A Marriage At Sea. What a lovely meeting space! Many thanks to Thompson Park Activity Center for giving us a place to meet while the library was being renovated.

Our next book is photographer Gordon Parks' 1966 autobiography, which we will be discussing on June 4. New people are always welcome! Note that the group will not meet in July.

Sounds like fun!
