BPL Book Club

Our adult book club is all about meeting people and forging friendships with other readers. Our expert staff guides lively discussions about thoughtfully selected titles, from timeless classics to the latest bestsellers. Whether you've read the featured title or not, your enthusiasm and love for reading are all you need to join in!

The Books We're Reading

Plan to come to any or all BPL Book Club talks in 2026. Here are the titles we're talking about and the hosting locations. Registration opens on the third Wednesday of the month for the next month's sessions.

View the online calendar listing for upcoming sessions in the next few months or see what's scheduled at each branch below.

BPL Book Club does not distribute books to attendees. We purchased extra copies of the thirty books we selected for this year's book club, and they are part of our regular collection. You can plan ahead by placing holds on book club titles you want to read.
