Book clubs

Book discussion groups are a great way to meet people, expand your reading tastes and learn more about what your library has to offer. Book discussion groups bring together people who love books and enjoy talking about what they read. The groups choose a wide range of books to read and meet once a month.

Book discussion groups are currently running at Corrimal, Dapto, Thirroul, Warrawong and Wollongong Libraries. To find out more about joining one of these groups or to get a list of what the groups are reading please speak to staff at the library.

Please note: Dates may be subject to change. Please phone to confirm dates

Dapto Book Club's April Book - The Last Days of Lacuna Cabal by Sean Dixon

This quirky little book left most of our group unimpressed. Some felt it had promise to begin with, but bailed out halfway through, leaving the reader with nothing to really hold on to. Others found it hard going at first but discovered some light near the end. The story focuses on a Montreal Book Club and the jostling of its members when the decision to read the ancient story of  ‘Gilgamesh’ is tabled.  It heralds the end of the Club and begins a journey for knowledge and companionship. If this book was meant to be an epic of  ’Gilgamesh’ proportions, our opinion would have to be one of failure. But if  you are looking for something a little off beat … something with a dash of humour in a surreal form, then you may just be looking for Lacuna Cabal! 

Junior Book Club

The Junior Book Club is aimed at children 8-12 years of age. It is an informal get together to discuss your favorite books and authors. Each month there is a theme and you can choose a book from the selected book list. Participants are encouraged to read a short passage from their book and to discuss their likes or dislikes about the book. Lots of fun with interesting themes, guests and celebrations
