Sorry to cross-post immediately after Barbara Beaton’s message! (I should learn to do a search first before impulsively posting… )

 

Please share your amazing bookclub suggestions with both of us!

Subject: [Michlib-l] Quirky (aka: non-traditional) bookclubs that work for your communities?

 

Hi all,

I’m curious what kind of bookclubs work for your Library patrons? Specifically, I’m interested in those that are non-traditional…

 

I’ve heard some libraires have success with silent book clubs where folks just gather and read silently…

We have a very successful bookclub focused around food/cooking titles.

 

Also interested in hearing creative ways to reduce staff effort. Do you have a trusted volunteer that helps to select, read, facilitate the bookclub(s)?

 

What works for your library patrons??

 

Thanks!

Andrea
