Downtown Library

Meeting Room 2B/C Combo

Explore new genres and the MCPL adult collection while creating your perfect menu of tastes and preferences! Ask questions about genres and find your new favorite read. Age 18 and up.

Have you ever wondered what books fall into a specific genre? Unsure what genres you even like—or what a genre is? Want to try something new, but aren't sure where to start? Join us at our Book Bistro!

We'll have tables set up for you to explore genres, menu cards for you to write down what you love (and don't love) about each genre, samples for you to read, and a librarian or two on-hand to help you find your next great read. We'll be focusing on our adult collection, from nonfiction to westerns to graphic novels and more.

Please contact Emily Bedwell at ebedwell@mcpl.info if you have any questions about this program.
