The Ken Jewell Literary Society meets on the second Tuesday of most months to discuss books from a wide ranch of genres. This month's selection is available for checkout at the Morristown Library.

Each month, those interested in reading the selection may check out the book from the front desk of the library.

Kenneth W. Jewell was a longtime resident of the Morristown area. He taught at Morrison High School for 36 years. Ken was active with the Morristown Library Book Groom from its inception to his passing in 2023, and we honor his lifelong love of reading by renaiming our book club in his memory.

A library card is required to check out the book.

The book club requires no registration. All are welcome.
