Book Club Frenzy!

For all you readers out there who have got that burning desire to get together with others and discuss the literary themes of an intriguing book, you’re gonna love the new service we now have at the library.

First and foremost, if you are interested in starting a book club but don’t know which book to choose, we now have book club kits in English and French that can be borrowed from the Reference desk. There are currently fourteen kits, each containing eight novels and a folder with information about the book, such as reviews, biographies of the author, interviews, and discussion questions. These kits are a great start to having and continuing that book club you have always wanted.

If you have found the kit you want but have no place to discuss, there’s a solution to that too! We now offer a room every Thursday that you can reserve for these book club discussions. The room is available the whole day and can be booked in four hour slots. Meet up with your group every month in the morning, afternoon, or evening---whichever is better for everyone.

For more information about what kits are available and to reserve the room for your club, just call the library at (514) 485-6900 and ask for Reference. I personally have never been part of a book club but it really is a fun way to wind down and share your thoughts and ideas with friends about how stories affect you. It gives you the excuse to really commit yourself to something you love and look forward to every month, and in between----you’re reading! While I’m at the reference desk, I invite you to come by to express your interest in this great idea. I hope you will be excited as ever to start a club and use the services and facilities that we have to offer. Happy reading to all and enjoy!
