For those who want a book club,
but are not so good at doing a book club.....
The "Whenever Book Club" is up and running and waiting for you to join! In this online community, library patrons will connect with each other to read and discuss books on a range of topics. There is no cost to participate - you just have to get a copy of the book to enjoy!
The Book Club connects through a private forum where participants can discuss the current book and network with each other when it best fits their schedule. The group will spend approximately two months on each book so you will have plenty of time to read and join the discussion.
