New West Readers
description
Welcome to the New West Readers group, originally founded on Meetup.com in February 2008. If you live in the New Westminster BC vicinity and would like to read along with us, please feel free to join our little group! Our book selections are democratically shortlisted by members at each meetup. Help choose the book we read in our online poll! We generally meet on the LAST TUESDAY of the month. If you're looking for some good literature and conversation, we'd be happy to meet you!
