We’ve had some subtle additions to our choices for book clubs at FCPL in the past year. There is something for everyone and any schedule! Need help finding the one that's right for you? Read on:
Only read fiction bestsellers?
Check out OverBOOKed, Novel Diversions, or Hooked on Books!
Consider yourself a true crime connoisseur?
Sharon Fork’s new book club Crime Time was made just for you!
Prefer discussions around a topic rather than one book?
BYO Book at Denmark Library is just that!
If you’re not already a member of one of our book clubs, check out these reasons on why it’s a good idea to join one.
-
Combat Isolation: Book clubs, particularly for older adults, offer
significant social benefits, reducing the risk of depression and chronic
health issues.
-
Expand Your Horizons: They encourage reading outside your usual
comfort zone.
-
Explore New Perspectives: Library book clubs, unlike algorithmic
social media, expose you to opposing viewpoints in a neutral setting.
-
Make New Friends: A fantastic way to meet like-minded people in your
community.
-
Accessible Learning: A low-cost, engaging way to "travel the world"
through literature.
- Bring Joy: Regardless of whether you finished the reading, your presence alone will delight the librarian hosting the session.
The following list is in alphabetical order by the hosting library. For a more detailed description of each book club, visit the Book Clubs section of the Adults tab on ForsythPL.org. If you have any questions about joining a book club, visit your local branch or reach out to us by phone at 770-781-9840 or email at ask@ForsythPL.org.
