6 attendingEver notice those numbers on the side of the books in libraries? Ever wonder what they meant? Sure, I'd heard of the Dewey Decimal System, but I never quite understood it. So I decided to read my way through the Dewey Decimals, and I invite you to join me! Each month we'll focus on one section, from the 100's to the 900's, and discuss one featured title. This club is sponsored by the San Rafael Public Library.

There are no upcoming Meetups.
So what's the worst part of most book groups? Being forced to read a book you simply don't want to read. And what's the best part: getting all those great book recommendations! In this meet up, we're going to dispense with the book *reading* and go straight to the recommending ... and we'll do it with a game I call the "Book Auction". Each participant brings 2 of their favorite books (1 fiction, 1 non-fiction) -- these can be books off your shelf, or new purchases from a store. At the door, ever …
