Library Tea Time Book Society
You are invited to relax with the Hull Street Library for tea time! The Library Tea Time Book Society is a new quarterly book club for women and their mothers and daughters who want to explore the world of tea in a cozy library setting. We will celebrate tea and books--past, present, and future, on and off the literary page! We will look at tea traditions around the globe and their use in books across genres and in real life! Refreshments will be served--tea, of course!
This book club is free and open to the public, but space is limited, so please register so we'll have enough tea cups and scones for you!
