Snarky Librarians thrive on book clubs. Truly, nothing is better than introducing a wonderful book to a group and then listening to them talk about it.
Check out 25 Ways Libraries Can Serve Book Groups from Book Group Buzz.
Other book clubs ideas that can be used in a library setting:
1. Pair a book with a movie. Have participants read the book, screen the movie, and talk about the transition from page to screen. My experience has been that the movie element works well as a hook for teens, and as a great visual aide for senior groups or ESL groups. Bonus challenge: Read a script instead of a book and compare it to the movie version. Six Degrees of Separation is a good place to start.
2. On the library webpage, have a place where author websites are book marked. Often authors have book club questions about their books.
3. Start a library book club blog (the Snarky Book Club, perhaps?) and use it as a virtual Book Club. This is a great tool to use for library outreach; groups such as busy professionals, stay at home parents, or the disabled and homebound. Blogs are fun and FREE!
