With the diversity of topics - everything from poetry and mysteries to science fiction and biographies – and guest facilitators, the Dorothy Kaplan Book Discussion Group offers something for everyone! You are welcome to join. There is no cost and there is always an insightful exchange of observations. The group meets on the third Thursday of each month from 1-2 p.m. in the Kripke Jewish Federation Library. Contact Library Specialist, Shirly Banner, at sbanner@jewishomaha.org.
