Lift Bridge Book Shop
The Lift Bridge Book Shop has a variety of book groups to explore. Annie and Joe's Eclectic Book Group meets once a month on Thursdays. They read an eclectic mix of both fiction and nonfiction.
The Seymour History Book Club meets monthly on Sundays and is a little different than your average book club. According to the Lift Bridge Book Shop website: "They select a topic, rather than a specific book to read, and each member chooses their own reading material to share. This results in a range of perspectives and good discussions."
The Lift Bridge Book Shop also has a book group for women only called "Women Who Love To Read Book Group" that meets one Wednesday a month, and a book club for sci-fi enthusiasts called "Fans of Science Fiction," which meets once a month on Thursdays.
