Book Club for Book Clubs
The Foundation hosts a yearly "Book Club for Book Clubs" program that brings together members of community book clubs to talk and share ideas. Library staff brings the clubs up-to-date on the many resources available online and through the library.
Book Club Resources
Community Book Club Wall
To foster the sharing of ideas and great book titles, The Foundation created the Community Book Club wall. Located on the 1st floor near the elevator, you can find a list of local area book clubs and their reading choices.
In-House Resources
The library maintains a collection of past library book club selections on the 2nd floor. Multiple copies are available for book clubs to check out. We also offer books to help with book group planning, selection guides, and discussion starters.
