Book Clubs
The Brookfield Public Library currently offers six book clubs. The Library arranges for meeting space, sets the dates of the meetings, provides copies of the books and, with the exception of one club, has a staff member on hand to lead the discussion or help with the meeting. New members are welcome at any time to any of the book groups. Lists of current and upcoming titles to be read by all the book groups are available at the Adult Reference Desk or online. Copies of the current titles being discussed by book groups will be available for checkout about one month before each meeting.
