Join a book club at your library!
The Bay County Library System offers book clubs that include lively discussions, engaging reads, and a welcoming community of book lovers! Our book clubs meet monthly to explore a diverse range of literary genres and authors, offering participants the opportunity to discover new books, share insights, and connect with fellow readers.
How do I join a book club?
- Take a look at BCLS's Upcoming Book Clubs.
- Register for any book club by registering for the event, or calling into any branch.
- After registering, you can place a hold on the book club title and pick it up at your local branch, or use our digital collections to download the title in eBook or audiobook format (must be a Bay County resident to use digital streaming services).
- New titles and book clubs will be added regularly, so check back often!
