The Roachdale Public Library has been hosting a monthly book club for more than 15 years! Currently, we meet the 2nd Monday Monthly (at 6pm in the lower level of the Roachdale Public Library) to discuss the selection. We are open to adding a second time monthly to discuss the selection! Prefer a monthly Saturday morning book club? A lunchtime sack lunch discussion? Want to invite more friends? Send us an e-mail (
cm9hY2hkYWxlcHVibGljbGlicmFyeSB8IGdtYWlsICEgY29t) or call (765-522-1491) if you are interested!
Books are available to check out one month prior to book discussion. They can be picked up at the library during regular hours, at book club, or most Evergreen Libraries will have a copy to check out. E-book versions are frequently available on Libby as well! Book club is FREE & open to any adult regardless of where you live! We know schedules are busy, and you may attend those that fit in! One thing participants note over the years is that we learn something new or gain a new perspective with each book - EVEN if we don't like it! We read a variety of genres, authors, and publication periods. And in full transparency, each member has had a time when they DNF (did not finish!) and still came! However, we often find the discussion satisfying no matter how we felt about a book! Take a peek at the upcoming selections (we've included the Goodreads synopsis if you'd like to learn more!)
