Fires and Fables: Speculative Fiction Book Club at Herndon Library

Fire and Fables is intended to be a relaxed space for adults to discuss fantasy and science fiction. All subgenres are welcome! You never know when you’re going to find a new subgenre or author to love. The goal is to chat about what we do and don’t find effective about the book of the moment.

This group meets every 6 weeks, and copies of the selection will be available at the Circulation Desk.
