Book Clubs

The Orillia Public Library has several book clubs you can join. Registration is required for all book clubs, unless otherwise indicated. 

Book Chatter

Book lovers - drop-in to share what you're reading or gather suggestions from other readers during this relaxed hour of bookish conversation.  Book Chatter runs on the third Tuesday of every month from September to June.

Books on Tap 

Books on Tap is the Library's book club for twenty and thirtysomethings!  We meet at the Hog N' Penny (9 Matchedash St. N.) on the second Wednesday of the month to relax, talk books, and enjoy a tasty beverage!

Bookworms Book Club

We are a friendly group of readers who meet on the first Thursday of each month at 1:30 p.m.  We offer readers the opportunity to participate in spirited discussions which makes for a much more personal and intimate reading experience! Each member plays a role in selecting which books they would like to read and discuss.

If a title you would like for your Book Club is not on this list, we may be able to bring in multiple copies through Interlibrary Loan. Email us at least four weeks in advance with the title of the book, how many copies you require, and how long you will need it for. Please note that books published within the current calendar year or very popular titles may not be available.
