The Hinchinbrook Book Club has been meeting every two months since 2008, with it's inaugural meeting held during Library and Information Week 2008. Nine participants enjoy a general discussion about the current book club book and sharing their passion for reading. Many have found they share certain reading preferences and habits - piles of books beside beds, having several books on the go at once and many hours of lost sleep - and are happy to recommend novels to each other. All in all we have had a wonderful beginning to the Hinchinbrook Book Club! Members are now reading Alex Miller's "Journey to the stone country" Readers interested in forming an evening Book Club please contact the Ingham Library and, depending on interest, serious consideration will be given to forming a second club.
Suggested rules for running a group can be found at Book Clubs and interactive groups . Share a book today.... |
