Book Clubs
NVDPL Book Clubs
All branches - Lynn Valley Main, Capilano and Parkgate - each have a book club. The groups run from September through May and have a membership of 25. Registration is in August and a $20.00 fee is collected at the first meeting. The Clubs meet once a month on a regular day and time. Members are each lent a copy of the book for discussion that month and the sessions are led by a librarian. The clubs try to read a diverse selection of books that provoke good discussion.
The library also has a Book Club Collection. The Books in this collection are available for borrowing in sets of 10 or more. In most cases as these books have been discussed by the Library's book discussion groups so notes are also available. Holds are also permitted on multiple copies. For titles in this collection, search under the subject heading "Book Club Collection" or browse the collection at Lynn Valley Main Library.

To subscribe to our Online Book Club service, all you need is an e-mail address and access to a computer. From Monday to Friday, each day you will receive a section of a popular book that takes about 5 minutes to read. By the end of the week, you will have read the first 2 or 3 complete chapters of the book. If you’d like to finish the book, just visit the library and pick up a copy. You can choose from a range of categories, from fiction to business books, or join more than one club. Each week, the club will feature new books for each category.
If you ever decide you want to quit, follow the instructions at the very end of each book club posting or just send us an e-mail to let us know and we can cancel your subscription for you.
