Kingston Frontenac Public Library's New Adult Advisory Board presents a series of casual book discussion mixers. Just don't call it a book club!

Books and Beans is a monthly discussion mixer for new adults and adults who like to read.

Come have a coffee or tea, a tasty pastry, and discuss books and other media in relation to a monthly theme (or feel free to come gab about any literary topic that has got you excited).

For our summer meetings, share what you're reading for the Adult Summer Reading Club and brag about all the badges you've earned! 

Attendees are encouraged to bring reusable coffee mugs.
