Abstract:
The Thursday Afternoon Book Club of Kings Mountain is celebrating its 100th anniversary--1913-2013. The club follows the practices and rules of its founders. For example, the club must have 20 to 24 members; new members are voted on by secret ballot; books are selected by committee and must be purchased in hardback. Nearly half the women are daughters of previous members. The club is believed to be one of the oldest book clubs in North Carolina.
