Book Bucks
This is Swissvale Library’s 9-month program to encourage reading among independent readers of all ages. You entered the program on the day you pick up the form, and may continue reading until May 18, 2018. All of your readings will be awarded points, which will be given to you in the form of currency- “Book Bucks”-on Sunday, May 20th. On that day we will hold our annual Book Bucks Auction, when you will be able to bid on all manner of items and certificates. In fact, we’ve already started collecting items for this exciting event!
You are encouraged to read books which you have not yet read. Complete your form and build up points to bid on all manner of of items and certificates.
Book Discussion Groups
We offer 4 different book discussion groups, 2 of which are MYSTERY and 2 are ECLECTIC. The eclectic discussion groups are held on the 1st Thursday of the month, at 7 pm and the second Thursday of the month, at 3 pm. Please note, these groups are independent of each other and do not read the same books.
The mystery discussion groups are held on the 4th Monday of the month. Kate’s group meets at 2 pm while Bonnie’s group meets at 7 pm. These groups are also independent of each other and do not read the same books.
