Read. Connect. Discuss.
Looking for a way to share your love of reading with others? The Baxter County Library offers a variety of book club options for adults, whether you enjoy laid-back fiction discussions, thought-provoking nonfiction topics, or hosting your own book club with friends.
We currently offer two ongoing Library-led book clubs—All Booked and Issues & Viewpoints—plus our convenient Book Club in a Bag sets you can check out to start your own group.
Multiple copies of each book club title are available behind the Circulation Desk and can be checked out for two weeks.
Everyone is welcome! Join in person any time, no registration required. Explore the options below to find the book club that’s right for you.
All Booked Book Club
Looking for a book club that's relaxed, fun, and full of great reads? All Booked is a laid-back, hybrid book club for readers who enjoy mostly fiction, especially page-turning mysteries, heartwarming romances, and the occasional inspiring biography.
Whether you're a seasoned bookworm or just getting back into reading, this group is all about enjoying good books and even better company, without the pressure.
We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM, with the flexibility to join in-person at the Library or virtually via Zoom.

Issues & Viewpoints Book Club
Interested in nonfiction that challenges your thinking and sparks meaningful conversation? Issues & Viewpoints is an in-person book club that explores current events, social issues, history, politics, and more through compelling nonfiction reads.
Discussions focus on the issues and viewpoints presented by the author, with an emphasis on listening, learning, and exchanging ideas in a respectful, inclusive environment. While participants may bring diverse perspectives to the table, the goal is to engage with the material.
We meet on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 1:30 PM, in person at the Library. No registration required—just bring an open mind and a willingness to explore new ideas.
