Book Clubs
We are committed to providing book discussion opportunities to the public. Book clubs can introduce readers to books they might not otherwise read, and through discussion and reflection, readers can gain a deeper understanding of what they have read. Most of all, book clubs bring people together to celebrate reading. The library supports book discussion opportunities in three ways:
- Giving access to 350+ book club kits (10 books each) to Payne County Clubs that register with us. Complete the form below to register.
- Providing librarian-led book clubs for community members to join, and linking clubs with open spots to individuals who want to join a book club.
- Allowing book clubs to use meeting room space at the library.
Book Club Registration
Each kit contains 10 copies of the book, although they are not always the same edition. Sometimes we have a few extra copies.
Librarians currently host four book clubs, each is limited to 10 participants. Clubs occasionally accept new members.
