Off-site Book Club Questions
by Heather Rochon 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Hello Michlib! My library is looking to start an off-site book club that meets either at a restaurant, bar, or coffee shop. If you or your library hosts a book club like this, would you mind answering some questions? * How did you decide where to have off-site book club meetings? Do you go to the same venue for each meeting? * Is there any cost to your library associated with using a venue? * How often do you meet? * How did you advertise? * How was attendance when you first started out? * How do you choose the titles? Do you provide copies of the book? If you have any other advice that you can share, I would appreciate it! Thank you! Heather Rochon (she/her/hers) Adult Department Librarian Southfield Public Library hrochon(a)southfieldlibrary.org (248) 796-4380
