Book Clubs

We are currently offering two 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 Lbowen@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 Lbowen@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.

 Spice Club

Pick up a different spice each month from your preferred library branch. A handout will accompany the spice which includes cookbook suggestions, recipes, and more information about the spice. Then, meet once a month via Zoom discuss. Meetings are held on the last Tuesday of a month at 2pm, or the last Wednesday of a month at 7pm.

Email: Lbowen@kawarthalakeslibrary.ca to register.
