Back in 2010-2011 Books@12:10 lost the funding that provided staff time. However, a group of us regular members persevered, another group member reserved the meeting room for 2011-2012, we each chose titles and shared in group discussions as volunteers.
Although we had discussed another year to start this Autumn, other volunteers emailed me not long before the September event that they had joined other reading groups. Without the regular participants (perhaps temporarily) at this point Books@12:10 is volleyed back in to the court of Tacoma Public Library. (The reading group name is their own invention, the contact reminds me.)
And volleyed back to Tacoma Reads Together – the future of the project is also now returned to them. The group began at the end of 2002 as a lunchtime reading group as a spin-off of the project, Tacoma Reads Together. Our first selection was a novel by Sherman Alexie, and our list of novels and an occasional non-fiction work has been nice for everyone.
