Have you ever wanted to join a book club but never had the time?
Western Australian Public Libraries have started a new online book club. Available anytime and from anywhere, this is the book club that will fit into your schedule.
Three books are available concurrently for a period of nine weeks, updated five times throughout the year.
Sign up here to be part of the book club conversation. Once you sign up for the Book Club, there is a FAQ guide that can help you download and access books.
Choose one or more of the three titles from this quarter’s selections.
You can use the library catalogue to find a printed or digital copy or access a free ‘always available” ebook copy through Freading.
