Book Clubs
Join a book club or start your own
Being part of a book club is a great way to try new authors, meet new people and talk about books!
Redland Libraries support several book clubs.
How it works:
- Book clubs are run by the members with a coordinator appointed to liaise with Library staff.
- Clubs are usually no bigger than 12 members.
- Meetings are held in a Library meeting room or at an outside venue such as member's homes, cafes etc.
- Each member needs to belong to the library.
- The Library supplies a kit on how to run a book club / topics to discuss etc.
Download kit
- The library supplies a suggested list of titles where the library holds eight or more copies.
- It is the responsibility of each book club member to borrow their books and/or place them on request.
Contact your library to find out how to join an existing book club or start your own.

Write a review
Many of the above sites are great for finding other reader's reviews, but why not write your own? You can add reviews and share them with others through the Library catalogue. Just search for your book and click on the Reviews link next to the title. You can create a login to write your reviews, or you can write anonymously.
