Book Club News
Attention Book Clubs!!
Read by the Sea has initiated a new pilot program called “Pageturners”. For this first year, we have purchased 12 copies of Coventry by Helen Humphreys — one of our Mainstage authors at Read by the Sea this summer — and made them available to book clubs in the area. The response from bookclubs has been enthusiastic, with the books in circulation for most months between now and July.
