We’re excited to be launching four new books clubs at our State Library shop!

All four book clubs will meet monthly at the bookshop to discuss a selection of books. Sessions will commence in March, and membership costs $50 for four sessions from March to June 2019 inclusive. Each book club is run by a Readings staff member, who will communicate with members, convene the sessions, and keep the discussion on track. Refreshments are provided, and book club members receive 20% off the cost of each month’s chosen title.
