[Publib] Book Clubs

[ckubala at columbiactlibrary.org]

     We started our non-fiction book group approx. 10 years
ago. We started with  approx. 10 in the group, mixed, both
men and women. This group still meets today  with several
original members and usually has anywhere from 10 to 16 
participants. It has always attracted men whereas our
fiction group is all  women. We started the fiction group
due to patron requests about 5 years ago. It  took longer to
build a core group and even today sometimes has 6 people
(last  night) and sometimes as many as 11. 
 Book group participation is an interesting subject. As one
responder noted it  may take time to build a core group. I
would be interested in hearing some  suggestions to promote
the group.
