Whether you enjoy a good love story, a gritty crime novel, or an illustrated graphic novel, there is likely to be a group sharing that interest nearby! The book titles are typically available in the libraries’ regular collections – either as a hardcopy print version or digitally as a downloadable ebook or e-audiobook – but special “book-club collections” are also available at the check-out desk at the hosting library, so be sure to inquire about additional availability.
