📚✨ Good books, fresh air and great company!

Who says book clubs have to meet indoors? In this installment of Community Corner, Associate Editor Emily Melvin joins the Rambling Readers, a unique book club hosted by Washington Township’s Margaret E. Heggan Free Public Library.

Led by librarian Jenn Smith, the group takes its love of reading outdoors with monthly walks through Washington Lake Park. There’s no assigned reading, no pressure and plenty of conversation about books, nature and life. 🌳📖

More than just a book club, Rambling Readers is bringing neighbors together, sparking friendships and proving that some of the best stories are the ones we share with each other.

🚶‍♀️ Want to join the conversation? The final walks of 2026 are Oct. 30 and Nov. 20 at 3 p.m.

📖 Read the latest Community Corner to discover how this group is connecting readers one step at a time!
