Book Clubs
Book Club programs combine a love for reading and lifelong learning in an informal setting at the Library. Discover new stories and ideas and join us monthly (or more) at any of our CLP locations to participate in a lively, facilitated discussion with others. Whether you are a mystery lover, devourer of nonfiction, an explorer of the unknown, or love to being introduced to new and exciting titles of all kinds, there is a Book Club program for you.
While having a library card is not required, you can request any of our Book Club titles through our online catalog at any library in Allegheny County. You can also find our Book Club picks as eBook and eAudio through Libby or Hoopla. Library staff will provide copies of the Book Club titles at our locations and can show you how to access the titles through Libby and Hoopla. You can get a library card in-person at any of our locations or apply for a card online.
Once you have your library card, you can use it to check out or request a book from any library in Allegheny County. You can also use the card to find eBooks and eAudio through Libby (the app for OverDrive) or hoopla. To find out if we have a book in our system, you will want to search our online catalog. The easiest way to see if we have what you’re looking for is to type the title in the search bar, click on the word “Keyword” and select “Title” from the drop-down menu, then hit “Enter.”
