Urbana Book Club (Friends of the Urbana Regional LIbrary)
Advertisement
Hope to see you on the 3rd TUESDAYS of each month (none in July or December) at 6:45pm. We have a Zoom link and can set up a computer if you email us in advance. Interested attendees may contact [email protected]. Find the full year’s reading list below.
The Urbana Library Book Club first began meeting in October of 2015. FURL Book Club is currently meeting on the upper level of the Urbana Regional Library conference room, while also having the Zoom option above. In warmer months, we sometimes gather outside of the library, weather-permitting.
Book titles are selected by the members, and may be fiction or nonfiction. New members are welcome at any time! Below you will find the most up to date book list. The book list can also be found inside the library. If you can’t reserve a copy through your FCPL library account and/or wish to purchase the title, links to Amazon and Bookshop.org (supports local independent book stores) are also provided at https://www.urbanafriends.com/bookclub
