LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Library makes social reading experiences available to all through various free online and in-person book clubs.
The library’s newest book club, The Happy Trails Hiking Book Club, will facilitate book discussions about outdoor literature during group hikes at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park in Lower Lake at 8 a.m. on the last Saturday every month.
Hikers and readers who love the outdoors will find kindred spirits in The Happy Trails Book Club.
“Each month the theme changes,” explained Mickey Price at the Redbud Library. “This month’s theme is marsh or wetland. Members can read any fiction or nonfiction that has to do with a marsh or a wetland, and then we will chat about it while we hike. We chose Anderson Marsh as our location due to its accessibility.”
To find out each month’s theme, participants can attend meetings or call Mickey at 707-994-5115.
The public is also welcome to attend any of the Lake County Library’s other free book clubs. Each club has a unique theme, time, and location:
