On Thursday, November 10 at 7:00pm, the Library will host its first ever Book Club Night Out, where literature enthusiasts from local book clubs can share suggestions and stories over dessert while getting recommendations and tips from the Northbrook librarians.
“The evening is designed to be a fun night out where individuals or groups can mix and mingle, share ideas and book titles with other groups, and draw from our expertise in a casual setting,” said librarian Lori Siegel. “We think it will be both enjoyable and beneficial to bring groups together for an evening of sharing ideas.”
The Library hosts several book clubs—some of which Siegel and the co-creator of Book Club Night out, Mike Hominick, lead—and many of the Library’s patrons are also members of personal, local book clubs in addition to the library-sponsored groups. At Book Club Night Out, Siegel says attendees will come away with book lists and other resources to help boost their book clubs.
“We are often asked for suggestions for books to discuss, or for discussion questions and materials to help lead a discussion,” said Siegel. “Book Club Night Out is another way we can help people understand the value [the Library] can add to their book clubs. We hope to have [Book Club Night Out] annual if the first gathering is a success.”
Registration is required to attend Book Club Night Out. Groups are encouraged to register together, but individuals are welcome to register as well.
