Book Bites is the Pasadena Public Library's online book club. Every month, we will have a contemporary classic novel to read. After the book has been introduced, a portion of the book's chapters will be up for discussion. Simply log on to our blog to share your questions, comments, and opinions. If you prefer to meet in person, Book Bites will also meet at the library's main branch the last Friday of every month from 4-5pm. Come in for a great book discussion and delicious treats.
