Focus on Library Clubs: Student Book Clubs
Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting some of the Clubs that are facilitated or supported by the College Library. This week we are focusing on Student Book Clubs.
We recently requested expressions of interest from students who would like to create and run their own Book Clubs.
How does a Student Book Club work?
Student Book Club groups consist of 2 to 8 people. Like-minded students create their own group to read the same book at the same time, and arrange to come together during recess or lunch to discuss what they are reading. The College Library provides the books as well as resources such as discussion questions, bookmarks, and access to student-directed activities, quizzes and video links to interviews with the author and book reviewers. Solo bookworms who may not have like-minded book pals were able to also express their interest, and will be paired in groups.
We look forward to beginning this initiative in the coming weeks.
