Booker Prize Winners a Reading Discussion Series Program starts again on March 28th. Books are available for loan ahead of time. All programs are on the following Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m.

Established in 1968, England’s Booker Prize is awarded annually to a citizen of the U.K., the Commonwealth, Ireland, Pakistan, or South Africa who has written the year’s best novel according to a panel of critics, writers, and academics. Graham Swift, who won the Booker in 1996, singled it out as the finest accolade a writer can receive, “It’s the one which, if we’re completely honest, we most covet.”
