Five different book clubs
The Coronado Public Library is home to five different book clubs that meet mothy. Most of the clubs are welcome to adults, but teenagers are welcome to join in as well. The library also has a graphic book novel book club for teens.
Here’s a look at the various other book clubs:
Through Their Eyes consists of memoir and biography style writing. This club is designed to see the world through other people’s eyes who may be different than we are.
The Mystery Book Club is the oldest club, and its members are always making each other laugh and usually go back and forth reading modern mysteries and classic mysteries, Weston said.
The Spoiler Book Club is very fun and unique since at the meetings they come together and watch the movie for the book they are reading, she said.
The newest club is The Best of the Best, where members read Pulitzer Prize Award winning books.
Opportunity to meet community members
The Coronado Public Library’s book clubs are great for individuals who find themselves reading the same genres and the same authors, Weston said.
Weston added that book clubs are also a great way to get out and meet people in the community.
“The best book clubs are the ones who have people who love the book and have people who hate the book,” said Weston.
