Virtual Book Clubs

We are currently offering three virtual book clubs.

1) Bring Your Own Book (BYOB). This book club meets bi-weekly on Wednesday evenings at 8pm via Zoom. Chat about what you are currently reading, and learn what others are reading too. This is a great way to discover new books. If interested, please email Lheffernan@kawarthalakeslibrary.ca

2) Virtual Book Club. This book club is more 'traditional' - a title is selected which everyone reads and meets via Zoom to discuss. This group meets once a month on Wednesdays at 2pm. If interested, please email Lheffernan@kawarthalakeslibrary.ca

3) Little Britain Virtual Book Club. Everyone reads the same book and meets via Zoom to discuss. This group meets once a month on Monday mornings at 10:30am. If interested, please email littlebritainlibrary@kawarthalakeslibrary.ca or call 705-786-2088.

Borrow a Book Club Set

Run your own Book Club and borrow a Book Club Set from any Kawartha Lakes Public Library location. A Book Club Set contains:

  • eight to ten copies of the title; may also include a large print and/or book-on-cd copy.
  • tracking sheet
  • one tote bag
 Book Club Set Basics
 Keep in mind the following when reserving Book Club sets:
  • All books within a Book Club Set are signed out to a single Kawartha Lakes Public Library card as a set.
  • Use the Book Club Set tracking sheet to keep track of who has each copy.
  • Return all books together to avoid late fees.
  • Book club sets are checked out for six weeks to allow time for the courier.
  • You can check out up to two Book Club Sets at a time.
 How to Reserve a Book Club Set

To reserve a Book Club Set, please:

  • Check our printer friendly list for the different Book Club Set titles.
  • Next check the availability calendar to see when the set is available.
  • Submit the book club reservation form.

Please note: all reservations must be made at least 72 hours in advance
