English Book Club

Welcome to Pasila Library's English Book Club!

This is your place to share the joy of reading and to meet new people. There's no need to register in advance. Just show up and join the meet-up. Preferably, you should have read the book, but it's fine if you just want to check everything out first.

The club welcomes your thoughts and will ensure that everybody gets the chance to talk about the books. "What if I hated the book!" That's great too. Come and tell everyone why!

The book club's host Jann will be waiting by the red sofas in Pasila Library. If you can't find him (he's probably lurking behind a shelf, cradling a stack of books), please ask at the info desk. He'll make sure they know where the book club meets.

See you at the Pasila Library English Book Club.
