Book Clubs

Bremen Public Library has eight book clubs. Each group meets monthly to learn, enjoy and share their opinions and ideas about books. One member leads the discussion with questions and ideas to get other members to participate with their points of view. Everyone is welcome! Please stop by if you are interested in joining a group, or e-mail a specific club leader directly.

Readers

The Readers Book Club meets the third Wednesday of each month from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m. This club was started in November 1999 and grew so quickly a second group had to be formed. Their slogan is, “Read it like you mean it!” Shelli Kauffman, skauffman@bremen.lib.in.us, is the current leader of the Readers.
