What: Book Club meeting
Where: Common Roots Cafe, 2558 South Lyndale Avenue, Minneapolis
The book club will discuss Sigurd Olson's Reflections from the North Country.
We will meet in the community room (very back of the restaurant) at Common Roots Cafe. See www.commonrootscafe.com. There is a small parking lot next to the restaurant, but it's likely that you'll need to find street parking. Carpooling or public transportation is a good idea, if feasible.

After we get settled in (including ordering dinner, for those who are interested), we can get to know each other a bit and then talk about the book. Before we leave we'll pick the book for next time.
