Library Book Clubs
Book Clubs are where you can meet to discuss book selections (both fiction and nonfiction) with other people, and at the end of each meeting, determine the next month’s book selection.
If you are looking to start your own book club, the library can help:
- Download our booklet, “How to Start and Sustain a Book Club”.
- Check out our “Books in a Bag” service. Each bag contains 10 copies of a single title and other information about the author.
Or, join one of the many book clubs at various library locations and meeting times. Below is a list of book clubs that typically meet at our libraries. For more information, including current book selections, please see our Events Calendar.
