Start a Book Club

Are you ready to launch a book club in your community? Here are some helpful tips we've discovered for creating an active and engaged reading group

Build a Community
Ensure you have a core group of readers or like-minded individuals eager to participate.

Facilitate Mutual Discovery
Approach discussions as opportunities for mutual discovery. Encourage participants to take the lead through prompts and questions.

Foster Organic Conversations
While the book is crucial, avoid dictating group dynamics. Instead, stimulate conversations that revolve around the featured subject matter.

Optimal Meeting Frequency
Though most book clubs meet monthly, we recommend a weekly schedule. Divide your reading selection into quarters and dedicate each week to a different aspect of the book for a comprehensive discussion.

Inclusivity is Key
Keep your book club open and inviting. Embrace participant growth, even if it seems challenging at first.

Purposeful Selections
Be intentional in your book choices. Whether your focus is business, feminism, environmentalism, or social justice, curate your selections to be more than a generic club for everyone.
