The Ath Book Clubs are now full, but we have a waiting list for members who would be interested in joining a book club. When places become vacant, we will contact people on the waiting list.

Vacancies in the book clubs:

• 3rd Thursday: 0
• 1st Wednesday: 3

The library purchases up to 7 copies of the book being discussed each month, with each book club member being able to borrow the book for two weeks. The books and handouts are the same for both book clubs so if you can't make your regular session, you can enquire at the Library about coming along to the other group.

The Ath Book Club is free with your membership. If you would like to attend, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

In 2011-12, the Ath Book Clubs will read Australian authors and world classics. The book list will be completed during the year.

Please pick up a Book Club flyer from the Library to see the dates when each book is discussed in the respective group.
