For current and future selections, please see the Events Calendar, and use the drop-down menu to select “Book Clubs.”

If you enjoy sharing your opinions about the books you read and learning about new authors and titles you might not read on your own, join a library book club.

Book club members have many interests and are actively involved in choosing each selection. We read a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction titles and sometimes a classic! Members may choose to prepare background information about the current selection, but, other than reading the book, preparation is not required for the meetings.

Copies of the books for the next month are distributed at each meeting or may be picked up at the library – or you may place your on hold on a copy through the iBistro Library Catalog.

Meetings are held from September through June.
