Welcome to Cranbury Public Library Book Discussions!
Hi everyone and welcome to the online home for Cranbury Public Library Book Discussion(s). I hope that everyone who is interested will have the chance to take part in a book discussion whether it be by coming to our regular meetings or here online. Just a few quick things to mention:
I. Please note to the right that I have created a schedule for the next few book discussions. I will update this as time goes on and that is where you should look to see what the group's current agenda will be. It is also a place where I will make announcements and any changes related to the book discussion group(s). Check back here on a regular basis!
II. For each book discussion date I will create an initial post for that discussion with some links to additional resources relevant to our book/topic. At the bottom of these posts you will see a link that says 'comments' (its really small and located at the lower right of the post). That is where you can click to add your own comments about the book we are reading. It will be the way we can have a discussion online.
Just add your comment (when you do choose the 'Name/URL' option and put your name so we can know who is commenting, and then others in the group can read it and respond, then you can respond back... and all of sudden you have an online conversation going.. its that simple!!
Of course if you have any questions or troubles don't hesitate to contact me!
III. If you scroll down a bit, and look on the right you will see a small chat window with the title "CPL Book Discuss". This small tool will allow you to chat directly with me during the day if you would like to talk about books we are reading or even if you just have a question. Think of it this way...its just something fun and different to try!
I will have the first 'post' up very soon and then feel free to comment and get this thing going
