Systemwide book club
Posted by Chris S on October 29, 2008
Credit this idea to Leslie Langley. We were visiting about book clubs and she mentioned that one of her focus group participants mentioned having an online type of book club. It should not be too hard to make sure each branch had a copy of the book. There are several ways to go with this. Either at a set time everyone could log on from home and chat about the book, or we could follow amazon’s example and have everyone just post their comments about the book. I’m sure super smart Cathy Tucker could come up with something we could do on the website. Does this idea appeal to anybody? Chris

Valliant is interested in starting an online book club. We already have a book club that meets once a month but some of our members like the idea of the online book club, too.

Booksprouts might be a good way to start this. What do you think Chris and Elaine?
