      Charlotte's Book Club

      2012-The-Optimists-Daughter
      CBC logo

      The Dripping Springs Community Library hosts Charlotte's Book Club, a unique book-centered discussion group, on the second Thursday of each month at 6 PM. The group takes its name from the Dripping Springs Community Library’s lifelong benefactor, Charlotte Walters Rhodes, and its inspiration from her appreciation of literature and the lively exchange of ideas. The 2012 reading choices reflect varied tastes in a balance of modern and classic American literature.

      For February we are reading The Optimist's Daughter by Eudora Welty.

      Charlotte’s Book Club is open to any interested reader in the Dripping Springs area. Copies of novels under discussion are available free of charge on a first come – first served basis.  To see the entire list for 2012, click here
