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

Drop-in once a month to share what you're reading and gather suggestions from other readers during this relaxed hour of bookish conversation. The next meeting is Tuesday, October 18 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. at Couchiching Beach Park near the Greenhouse.  Please bring your lawn chair.  (We will meet in the Library's Program Room in case of bad weather.) Registration is not required.

Books on Tap 

Books on Tap is the Library's book club for twenty, thirty and fortysomethings!  We meet at different downtown pubs and restaurants on the second Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. to relax, talk books, and enjoy a tasty beverage! Books on Tap meets monthly September through June.
Email us for more information or to register to receive a copy of the monthly selection.

Bookworms Book Club

We are a friendly group of readers who meet at the Library 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. 
Email us for more information or to register to receive a copy of the monthly selection.

Book Club Sets

The Orillia Public Library offers Book Club Sets for loan.  The list is comprised of adult, young adult and children's titles.  Anyone with an Orillia Public Library card may take out the sets.  Book Club Sets are available for an eight week loan period.  If you are interest in borrowing a Book Club Set, please contact us.  View the Book Club Set list.

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.
