I am pleased to announce that the Seldovia Public Library and the Seldovia Village Tribe Prevention Program are jointly sponsoring a book club for adults.

Jenifer Dickson of SVT is the organizing contact for signups and more specific scheduling information: jdickson@svt.org or 234-7898. Signups will be limited by the number of copies of the books available, so don’t wait too long if you’re interested.
