Online Book Discussion
by Maureen Baugh 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

I'm toying with the idea of doing an online book discussion (perhaps through Facebook?). Has anyone else in Michlib-l land done one? Do you have any suggestion of what to do and not to do? I'd really appreciate any advice. Please respond to me off the list and I can summarize the result later if anyone else would like to see them. maureen.baugh(a)farmlib.org Thanks! Maureen ?
