O’Neal Library

Conference Room

Meeting at the Levite Jewish Community Center (3960 Montclair Rd 35213)

THE LIBRARY BUILDING IS CLOSED FOR A MAJOR INTERIOR RENOVATION.  BAB MEETS AT THE LEVITE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER, 3960 MONTCLAIR ROAD, 35213. Contact Holley for more information at hwesley@oneallibrary.org.

Read, listen, and watch outside your comfort zone!

In Books & Beyond (BAB), we talk about topics rather than all reading one book and following discussion questions.  Pick any book, audiobook, or movie that you'd like to try, within the topic, and come tell us about it! 

If you have a hard time choosing, there is always a selection on the library's Shelf Care webpage (click here to visit). BAB meetings are hybrid.  A Google Meet link is available to all registrants.  If no one has joined by 6:45, the video call will be ended to ensure the best experience for group participants. BAB meets the last Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm. 

For more information, contact Holley at hwesley@oneallibrary.org.
