The Baxter County Library hosts two monthly book clubs all year long – Issues & Viewpoints, an open forum on books exploring current issues, and All Booked, an easy-going club that focuses on reading fiction, romance, mystery, or biography titles and is host to light conversation. Issues & Viewpoints is every first Wednesday of the month at 1:30pm, and All Booked is every third Tuesday at 6pm. Both book clubs are held virtually via Zoom.
