Book Discussion Groups

Calling all book clubs!

If your book club has any needs (discussion questions, title suggestions, help getting books) let us know.  E-mail librarian Michael Postula and let him know what you need to make your book club better.  mpostula@novilibrary.org

The Library offers two monthly book discussion groups...something for everyone!

The current month's selections can always be found on our Program Calendar.

Monday Evening Book Discussion Group
This group meets the first Monday of every month from 7-8 p.m. to discuss classic and popular fiction and non-fiction titles.

Booked for Lunch Discussion Group
This group meets the second Wednesday of every month from 12-1 p.m. to discuss a variety of fiction and non-fiction titles. Bring your lunch and beverages will be supplied by the library.

Book Club Kits

If you belong to a book discussion group, or would like to start one, you're invited to check out our selection of Book Club Kits!  Each kit contains 8 copies of a title selected by our librarians, along with a folder containing book discussion questions, author biography, and book reviews. 

The kits are checked out to one person who is responsible for all of the materials.  The kits check out for 6 weeks and may not be renewed or placed on hold.

New kits well be added throughout the year. 

Check out the kits we currently own!
