SUMMARY:BYOB (Bring Your Own Book!) Book Club for Adults
DESCRIPTION: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!\n\nJoin 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.\n\nThe prompt for April is: Epistolary novels to celebrate 
 National Card & Letter Writing Month. Epistolary novels are narratives 
 composed primarily of letters and has expanded to include books that 
 contain emails\, diary entries\, and other records as well.\n\nNeed help 
 picking a title? Get a recommendation from library staff through The 
 Librarian Recommends... ACL's virtual Reader's Advisory
