How to find a book club

Sept 2005

Hello, I am interested in joining a book club but have no idea how to go about it.How often do they meet? How would I go about joining one? Thanks

Start one with your friends and neighbors! avid reader

I moderate a coed, Oakland-based book club for the Neighborhood Parents Network (an organization for East Bay parents that provides support, networking, social opportunities, information exchange, etc.) We meet on the third Sunday of every month (the 17th will be our next meeting) at Royal Ground in Montclair Village from 4-6 p.m. This month's book is A.S. Byatt's Little Black Book of Stories, a collection of short stories. The group is quite casual. We currently have 3-5 members, depending upon the month. All of us have small children, so we're sympathetic when someone is short on time. You'd be welcome to stop by the month and meet us! Stacey

Greetings...I am hoping to locate a local(Berkeley,or Oakland) book club. It seems like a fun thing to do,does anybody out there have any info?? Thanks in advance. Danielle

I have noticed on several occasions that Neighborhood Parents Network's (formerly Neighborhood Moms) newsletter has notices in for at least two different book groups. I've been thinking of investigating myself, since my book club went defunct about a year ago. Anyway, there's one that meets at Royal Coffee in Montclair and another in Berkeley. From the notices, they have different formats. I don't have a newsletter handy, but I think that it should be relatively easy to get the information. If you go, and it seems good, let me know! Wendy
Try Neighborhood Parents Network- They have a Berkeley and an Oakland book club. Call 510-527-6667 to get an application for the organization and a sample newsletter. Gab
