Las Cruces book lovers and casual readers now have a new gathering place to share their latest literary discoveries. The local library is hosting a monthly event called "What Have You Been Reading?" This community forum provides an opportunity for bibliophiles to discuss their current reads.

The event, which is open to the public, will convene at 2 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month, putting the next meeting on the calendar for December 12. It's set to take place both in person, in the second-floor Conference Room of the Thomas Branigan Memorial Library, and virtually. The library is conveniently situated along RoadRUNNER Transit route 1, for those seeking transit options, and, for those who can't make it in person, a digital participation option via Zoom is available.

According to the City of Las Cruces, this book discussion group is an informal event designed to foster conversations about books participants have recently read and to share recommendations with fellow readers.
