August 6, 2013 at 9:29 amActually, the North River Library (branch of our regional system) DOES sponsor a book club, and I run it. 🙂
We are starting a new “style” this coming fall — I am going to introduce people to the Russell/Holmes duo with The Beekeeper’s Apprentice. We will do at least two books in the series. I’d like to keep going, but, just like my monthly book club, once people get hooked, they tend to go ahead and read the entire series one right after the other.
This book club in a box would be a stupendous asset for our club!
