Our motto is Covering Literature For All Ages, Reading is For Everyone.

OUR MISSION

TP, Inc. is a group of people devoted to the love of reading. We come together to talk, listen, agree, disagree, reflect, renew and to EAT.

We love and respect one another. Our club provides a fun and stimulating environment. We socialize; we discuss all types of literature and support the writers of those works. We are productive in social events and contributors to charities. We are more than just a book club we are family.

OUR STRUCTURE

We focus on authors and their work. We promote literacy. Each member has the task of selecting a book for discussion.

OUR MEETINGS

Turning Pages monthly discussions are held every third Saturday of each month. The location varies and is decided upon by the host or hostess of the scheduled meeting. The host or hostess also has the job of facilitator to ensure the discussion focus remains on the book. The facilitator evokes discussion related to characters and events in the story line.
