Reading Diversions Book Club Reading Diversions is a special Scientific Library collection of books written in an informative and entertaining way. People read these books for scientific INTEREST rather than for scientific RESEARCH. The Reading Diversions Book Club is coordinated by Scientific Library staff and offers you an opportunity to read and discuss books on fascinating scientific topics, generally from the Library's Reading Diversions collection. We are also offering fiction compainions to some titles. You may choose to read the fiction or non-fiction choice, or both. It is NOT required that you read both books to attend the discussions. All are welcome to participate, and we meet approximately every five weeks at lunch time in the Conference Center in Building 549. Feel free to bring your lunch along to the discussion. See a list of our discussions below for dates and locations. If you prefer not to buy a copy of the books, the Library may be able to borrow a copy for you. Please contact either Robin Meckley (x5840) or Tracie Frederick (x1094), if you would like to join the group or if you have questions.
