Novel Idea Book Club

Novel Idea is the Library’s own monthly book club. We typically meet on a Tuesday at 2:00 pm to discuss that month’s book. Meetings are around an hour long, and we answer a list of questions to help lead our discussion. It is an informal discussion, and a great place to chat about books with other book lovers!

How to join?

Everyone is welcome to join the book club. You can ask at the front desk for a copy of the next meeting’s book, or contact us to place a copy on hold. We’ll let you know the meeting date when you check out the book, and then you join us at the meeting if you are able.
