Calling All Book Clubs!


Jody, mentor for Teens Online

Do you want to hang out with teens and talk about books you've read? Consider joining a book club. Hennepin County Library offers a number of them. Just search for "book club" on our Events page.

Want to start a book club yourself? Check out these DIY tips including how to plan a meeting, start a discussion and some general questions to get you started talking. The library even offers teen book club kits which give you 10 copies of a book plus a discussion guide in each bag.

Some publishers offer discounts on books if they're being used for a book club and you're up for purchasing your own copies. Go to Sourcebooks to explore their new teen book club.

What kind of book club do you want to be involved in? One run at a library? One run by a friend?
