Morro Bay Book Discussion Group
a free program of
the Morro Bay Library

How to prepare before each discussion

• Season Series Book Lists are given out in advance to reader participants and are always available for download on this site or to pick up at the Morro Bay Library.
• Since we only meet once a month (January-October) for the 4^th Fridays Mystery Readers group, there is only one bookmark for the whole year. This gives readers plenty of notice of what books we will be reading throughout the year. This bookmark is also available for download on this site or to pick up at the Morro Bay Library.
• Because our discussion group is a program of the Morro Bay Library, the staff provides a special courtesy not offered at any other library, of having the books available at the library for checkout at least two weeks prior to the date we will be discussing the book (for the Wednesdays Program only).
• You can also support your local Friends of Libraries by going to their book sales. Sometimes you may find a great bargain on a book we are including in our Season Series. You can go to www.morrobayfriendsoflibrary.org for links to other Friends groups in San Luis Obispo County that have websites.
• You can also support your local friendly New and Used Bookstores who might have copies available at a reasonable price.
• If you have sensitive back issues, you might want to bring extra pillows with you for comfort.
• With the new 4^th Wednesdays @ the Movies program, we encourage everyone to arrive on time – 10:00 a.m. Typically, we start the program with announcements before showing the film – and some background information. Since a film may last longer than 90 minutes or so, and we do encourage you to stay for discussion, we also invite you to bring snacks, refreshments, and/or a sack lunch. Please also consider keeping yourself hydrated during the movie program. The Friends of the Library do fund this program, but it is always encouraged for participants to bring refreshments.
• For the comfort of those attending, please come fragrance free to all our programs.
• Please also turn your cell phones off when you enter the Library.
• When in doubt about the schedule, please feel free to contact the Group Facilitator.
