Adults are invited each week to read a selected book aloud from cover to cover and discuss it. Participation requires no preparation, and attendees are asked to resist the urge to read ahead outside the group.

The Spades Park Branch was built with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation and opened in 1912, six months after the opening of the city’s other remaining Carnegie Library, the East Washington Branch. The 7,500-square-foot branch underwent a $610,000 renovation in 1987 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012.
