Volusia Reads Online Book Club

Volusia County Public Library has partnered with PBC Guru and Freading to create a virtual book club for patrons and the community.

The book for August - September is Kinfolk by Sean Dietrich.

Kinfolk is the Southern story you've been waiting for. It's a page-turning delight with Dietrich's trademark humor and heart-filled insight. Kinfolk is a novel about second chances, deep love, forgiveness, and the power of country music - all wrapped up in a lyrically told story.
