The Morro Bay Book Discussion Group is a free program of the Morro Bay Library.

We are made up of a community of readers and students of life interested in learning and exploring, who come together to discuss books, and watch & discuss movies.

Come to any or all sessions!

Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. – Noon

If you like the idea of discussing books you have just read or just want to learn more about a book before you read it, this is the place to be.

Each 1st & 3rd Wednesday participants will have a chance to read and discuss anything from the latest bestsellers, classics, traditional literature, and historical fiction, mysteries or non-fiction books. Join us in animated and thoughtful discussion as we explore a variety of diverse and interesting books.

Each 2nd Wednesday (“Special Topics” day) we will discuss books that make us think! The expectation is not that you will read the book cover to cover (although you are certainly encouraged to), but that you will consider the essence of the message of the book and be ready to discuss that message.

Most 4th Wednesdays beginning at 10:00 a.m. we will show a movie and spend time discussing it afterwards.
