1.) It's fun and free! 2.) You'll get to participate in lively discussions about thought provoking books. 3.) Some selections might be a little outside your preferred genres, so you'll expand your reading horizons! 4.) Since this book club is online, you'll get to share your thoughts whenever they come to you instead of waiting for a specific meeting time.
How are the books chosen? Books have to be in the MLS catalog, and to ensure that everyone has a chance to check out a copy, I can only choose books that there are at least 20 copies of in the system.
We will read fiction and nonfiction, ideally alternating month to month. I'll try to pick a variety, so we aren't reading the same type of book over and over.
I will set up polls so we can see what the group wants to read. If there's no clear winner, I'll pick the book.
What do we have to do? As the moderator, I will:
1.) Make sure there are enough copies of the book in as many formats as possible. 2.) Read the book. 3.) Post discussion topics and questions. 4.) Remind everyone of new books and read-by dates. 5.) Look out for new and interesting books that might be suitable for us to read. 6.) Take suggestions from members for books to read.
As a member, you will: Read the book and respectfully share your thoughts and ideas about it.
Dates: New books will be voted on throughout the month. By the last day of the month, the book for next month will be decided upon. You'll have the whole month to read and discuss the book.
