Say goodbye to everything you thought you knew about the traditional book club. The BYOB (Bring Your Own Book!) Book Club is an alternative take on your standard book discussion group. Participating is easy and the perfect solution for all those readers who can’t seem to make a traditional book group stick. Simply show up having read a book that falls into the given theme or prompt for the month and get chatting. No more slogging your way through an assigned title you aren’t even interested in reading!

Join the BYOB Book Club to talk about books in a casual atmosphere, connect with fellow readers, and learn from different perspectives. After each meeting, we’ll email a list of the books that were discussed.

The prompt for February is: Celebrate National Library Lovers Month by reading books about books, libraries, or librarians!

Need help picking a title? Browse the ACL catalog for books about Libraries, Librarians, and Books & Reading, or get a recommendation from library staff through The Librarian Recommends... ACL's virtual Reader's Advisory service!

Upcoming Months:

March 17th: Read a book that someone recommended to you

April 14th: Award Winners

May 12th: Stories Retold (Retellings)
