Book Club

Library Book Clubs
The library offers a number of book clubs each year between September and May. Each club meets monthly and is facilitated by a library staff member. This is a great opportunity to explore new authors and old favorites and meet new people who share a passion for reading.

For more information about library book clubs please contact the Reference and Information Desk at 705-759-5236.

Returning the Book Club in a Bag
The Book Club in a Bag may be returned to any library location regardless of where it was picked up. Bags must be returned complete with all copies of the title and Reader’s Guide to the Circulation Desk. Do not return the Book Club in a Bag in the book return bin.

It is very important that the Book Club in a Bag is returned by the due date since other book clubs may be waiting for that particular title. There is a late charge of $0.25 per day per book. There will be a replacement cost if a book is lost or damaged.
