The Kandiyohi County Historical Society will be starting up a book club this fall.
We are excited to start this new program. The books will be historically minded.
We will meet four times a year at the Historical Society’s community room.
Below are the next four book choices with the dates and times of each club meeting.
There is no cost to attend the book club.

Contact Jill if you need help finding a copy of the books.
