What is a Book Club?

Book Clubs are groups of people who meet regularly to discuss a pre-selected book that all members have read.
Book clubs provide: 

  • A place to meet new people who want to talk about what they have been reading.
  • A reason to read to pick up books you might never have chosen on your own.
  • Regular connection with a local group who share your love of reading.
  • A way to get more out of the books you read, through conversation and different perspectives.

Our Book Club Service

Noosa Libraries has over 250 titles for book club members to choose from with eight books per set.
Each book club makes an annual payment of $110 and all the funds go directly into purchasing new titles for the exclusive use of book clubs. Suggestions for new titles can be made at any time through the link above. Staff also make selections of books that reflect industry trends and are most likely to appeal to book clubs.

Each book club makes an annual payment of $110. All funds go directly into purchasing new titles for the exclusive
use of book clubs. The fee is invoiced annually to your book club coordinator. Please ensure it is paid by the 31st of
March to keep your borrowing access active.

Your book club can have 2 sets on loan at the same time. This means you can borrow your next title before returning
the current one, so there’s no gap between meetings. See staff for assistance if you don’t have your membership
card with you to loan a set, and please return sets during opening hours.

Starting a Book Club

1. Choose your members. We recommend keeping groups to eight people or fewer, so everyone gets a copy.
2. Pick a name, a time and a location for your meetings.
3. Come into your local library branch to join.
4. Visit our book club webpage and browse the available sets by title or genre.
5. Select a title and place a reservation. You will need to log in and choose your pickup location.
6. The book club coordinator will receive a text or email when the set is ready to collect.
7. Pick up your set from any branch and loan it onto your library card or ask a staff member at the front desk.
8. Sets are loaned for six weeks. Please return them complete so the next club can dive straight in.
