Book Groups

bookclub1Book groups are a great way for book-lovers to enjoy reading and the pleasure of each other’s company. They can be a useful discipline for encouraging you to read more, to read outside the genres you normally read, or simply as a way to make new friends and meet like-minded readers.

QPL’s book groups cover a wide range of topics and cross between fiction and non-fiction books. The groups meet at various times and locations.

  • Renaissance Readers meet at QPL at 10:15 am the second Tuesday of the month. They read primarily nonfiction and classics.
  • All Over the Page meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. alternating between several local venues.
  • Unshelved meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 1 pm at QPL.
  • The Bookies  meet at 1:30 pm  the first Wednesday of the month at QPL.
  • Literary Angles book discussion group meets at 1:30 pm  the third Tuesday of the month at QPL.
  • Pardon Our Youth book group is geared to adults, ages 18 and up, who enjoy reading and discussing Young Adult literature. They meet the third Monday of each Month at QPL at 6 pm.

Call 223-1309 ext. 502  or visit the ASK HERE desk at the Library to sign up for an Adult Book Group.

You can also sign-up for the Book and Discussion Groups newsletter to see what we are reading each month!
