Libraries are a traditional venue for book discussion groups.
For libraries that do not currently offer such a program, this is a great time to take advantage of the public s curiosity about book clubs. At the Library of Hattiesburg, Petal and Forrest County , the Book Club has been in existence for more than ten years. Each book club meets monthly for one hour of informal discussion of books and reading. The Library provides copies of the books at no charge to participants, and library staff makes the book selections and leads the discussions. Many print and online resources are available for ideas and suggestions.
