Everything you need to know about the Book Club
What is a Book club?
-
A group of 8 – 12 people meeting monthly to discuss a book selected from the collection at the Mildura Library.
-
Your group may like to meet in members homes, at coffee shops or even in the library meeting room.
-
One person is selected by the group to be the coordinator and he/she is then responsible for collection and return of all books.
-
The books are on loan for 6 weeks.
-
Only MRCC Library Book club members can borrow from our Book Club collection.
When does the Book Club run?
- The Book Club runs from February to November - 10 titles and meetings a year.
What do we do to register as a Book Club?
-
Each person in the Book Club must be a member of the MRCC Library Service. It's free to join, just bring in some identification.
-
Information will be available on the book titles and how to run your first meeting.
What if I don’t have a group and want to join as an individual?
-
We encourage people to form their own groups where possible.
-
Otherwise we will keep a list of individuals who would like to be part of a group and either add them to existing groups or put them in a group of their own.
-
Individual details can be left at our libraries and you will be contacted when a new group is being formed.
How much does it cost to join a Book Club?
At your first meeting
-
The group coordinator will collect member details and fees so that the group can be registered.
-
The group should select 20 titles from our list of over 50.
-
Suggested activities for your meeting will be provided in an information pack.
-
The coordinator will then visit the library to register the group and collect the first title and discussion questions.
A Book club newsletter will be sent to each club regularly. If any Book club member would like to contribute to this newsletter perhaps with meeting suggestions or book reviews they will be very welcome. *Please let us know your email address if you have one*
