Library Programming

The Wild Pages—a book group on Zoom—Resumes September 24, 2025!

This popular, long-running book group (previously called the Nature & Books Discussion Series) is a wonderful way to get inspired, be curious, and explore ideas by joining with a community of readers.

You may register for the whole program (September 2025 through April 2026) or attend individual sessions.

The library offers loans of each book to participants (first come, first served, while supplies last). Books are available for loan on a monthly basis only, not for the entire series, although it may be possible to renew a title after borrowing.

Discussion questions & book guide, book loans and monthly Zoom links are available upon registration. Contact the library to register.

Read Banned Books! Group--In Person

Each month, co-moderators Keith Hermiz and librarian Michelle Dufort will select a book title using the list of books recently banned from the Nimitz Library at the US Naval Academy—books that challenge, enlighten, and sometimes discomfort. Please join us. Read bravely. Think boldly. Be as fearless in thought as Admiral Nimitz was at sea.

Please register via email to be on the book group mailing list, to borrow books from the reading list, and to receive discussion guides. We will meet on the second Wednesday of each month.
