Resources for Book Groups

The library has a Book Group Network to offer support and assistance to Stanly County book clubs. Advantages of being a Book Group Network member are: help with program ideas, including author information, discussion questions, book sets, and program speakers. There is also a monthly newsletter with notices of local literary and library events and reminders of Friends of the Library book sales that gets e-mailed to the group secretary. All network members also have the opportunity to recommend books for the library to purchase.

I have two special DVD's for book clubs to use. The first is Barbara Delinsky Talks About Writing & Books, and I also have At Home With Adriana Trigiani. Both authors have created these DVD's to help book groups discuss their books. These DVD's are available only to Book Group Network Members.

If your group would like to use one or both of these DVD's, or if you would like to register your book club with the Network, please give me a call at 704-986-3761.
