Contact us! You gather the group (or we'll work together on this), we'll come up with a day and time and invite families to register. We'll manage the location, logistics, and communication. We'll also provide the books and facilitate the magic. Find more info here.

What does it mean to host a book club? What does hosting involve?

See our detailed hosting page for all hosting questions! 

 

How do you choose your books for the book club?

RESEARCH! We put a great deal of thought into selecting the books. We select books from a diverse array of authors, characters, and subjects, as well as from numerous different sources, including lists of award winners (from classics to contemporaries). We also regularly consult with local bookstores and schools. We bring the physical books to each meeting for the kids to read over the following month. 

 

Do the parents also read the book?

Yes! For grades 1-4, we love hearing insights and opinions from the parents during discussions. 

 

Can I switch to a different book club if I’m unable to attend my original time and date?

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate requests to change book clubs after the start of the school year. If you are unable to attend a gathering, please notify us. 

 

Can I join a book club group after the session has started? 

If there’s space in an existing book club, we will gladly let you register for the session and prorate the cost.

​

Is there a Zoom option available if I’m unable to attend the in-person book club?

We are currently unable to accommodate requests for a Zoom option.

 

Can I still attend the book club if I didn’t finish the book?

Yes, please! We always recommend attending a book club, even if your child didn’t finish the book.

​

I was invited to join a club, but I can't find it on the site. 

Please check with your club leader. They will give you a link to your private club page. 

 

I’m interested in becoming a facilitator.

Great! Please submit a request, and we will get back to you.
