The Chestermere Public Library has launched a new initiative to help residents start their own book clubs.
The self-run book club program offers a meeting space, book copies, and coffee for those looking to arrange their own club.
"We found that there's such diverse interests within the community, we thought we would pilot this idea," said adult program coordinator Robyn Weatherley. "People can form their own groups and link them through the library."
There are already a few book clubs that run out of the library, with some in-person and others online.
"We would go through their name, how open it is, the age range, and what they are thinking they might want to start off with reading," added Weatherley. "There are book club packs available where it'll be a pack of eight books with questions along with that."
The library also began the program to showcase the space that they offer.
"This library space is one of the only spaces indoors where people can come and meet without having to buy something."
Anyone interested in creating their own book club can reach out through email at info@chestermerepubliclibrary.com.
