BPL Loves Book Clubs!
Gathering people around the shared experience of a book is central to our mission. Reading as a social activity prompts a deeper relationship with the books we love.
Community Book Clubs
If you're not part of a book club already, BPL regularly hosts book discussion programming for all ages.
- When selecting your next book club pick, make sure the library has what you need! While BPL cannot buy or reserve titles for specific community book clubs, you can use our catalog to help you select your next book club read by checking the availability of certain titles and formats.
- Look in the catalog record for the number of copies currently available for checkout. You can also sort materials by the highest number of copies, in combination with other catalog filters (audience, subject, language, publication date and more).
- Ask our experienced staff for help choosing your next book club read! Visit your local library or use our free BookMatch service.
