Bookclubs

If you enjoy reading and discussing books, why not start a bookclub with some like-minded friends and make use of a wonderful service available through your local library?

Eastern Regional Libraries has sets of books for loan by community book groups. Each book club set consists of 10 copies and there are notes supplied for many of the titles. An annual fee of $190 (including GST) per bookclub is charged. Further information is available at any branch of Eastern Regional Libraries. Please note that we cannot assist you in joining a bookclub that uses this service.

Bookclub books August 2007

The notes for the books are not available online nor can they be posted out. Please request when you place a reservation for the bookclub set.

To search in the catalogue: Type in the title and bookclub. e.g. tuesdays with morrie bookclub. Alternatively, you can get all of the bookclub books by just typing bookclub in the catalogue search box
