The Hobart Book Village Book Group was established in the late summer of 2010 in Hobart, New York, and in 2011 renamed the Dorothy Marshall Book Group (DMBG), after the late Dorothy (“Dot”) Marshall (1927-2011).

The DMBG meets monthly on Saturdays, usually in the home of Bridget and Dick Stinson of South Kortright.
