Try a New Book Every Week in Just 5 Minutes a Day

Sign-up for the Online Book Clubs here!

The library is now offering online book clubs. What exactly does that mean, you might ask. Well, when you sign-up for a club you'll be introduced to a new book every week by receiving a 5-minute read in your e-mail Monday-Friday. By the time the week's finished you've usually read the first 2-3 chapters of the book.


After you've started the book in your e-mail you can decide if you'd like to finish it or not. If you'd like to, just check the library's catalog. If we don't have it, you can always request that we get a copy. There are also online discussions to join if you want to chat with others about the book you're reading - and it's a national chat, several of which will include the book's author.

If you decide it's not your kind of book, just wait till the next Monday and a new book will be coming.

The clubs sometimes even post notes about a book's content at the start of each 5-minute read. For example, this note appeared right before the read on one of last weeks titles: *This book contains adult language.

There's 12 clubs to choose from and you can sign up for as many or a few as you'd like. Sign-up now so you don't miss the first e-mail. (Although you can go back and catch up.) Next week's books include:
