The Medford Public Library’s LGBTQ+ Book Group holds its first meeting of 2022 at the new Charlotte & William Bloomberg Library building. For a classic feature this season the group is going to read “The Price of Salt, Or Carol,” by Patricia Highsmith, and a recent biography on Highsmith by Richard Bradford titled “Devils, Lusts and Strange Desires: The Life of Patricia Highsmith.”

Books will be available approximately four weeks in advance. Call the Library at 781-395-7950 to have a copy checked out to you for no-contact pickup. RSVP through the library website: https://medfordlibrary.org/event/lgbtq-book-group-january/

The group meets the second Thursday of the month. All are welcome to read and discuss literary and nonfiction works by and about the LGBTQ+ community, from classics to contemporary titles.
