Book Club
The Hollis Center Public Library Book Club meets on the second Wednesday evening of each month from 5:30-7:00pm. The Book Club reads a selection of member-nominated literature of all genres. The Book Club is run by Jocelyn W. Gallagher, and enjoys a robust membership of over a dozen regular attendees from all walks of life.
All community members are welcome to join the book club. You must be a member of the library to join. To start your library membership, and/or join the Book Club, simply email our Librarian (director@holliscenterpubliclibrary.org).
All Book Club members will be added to our emailing list. You can pick up your copy of the next month's reading anytime before our meeting at the library.

Guidelines:
To make recommendations, you should be an active member of the Book Club. You are considered an active member if you have attended at least one meeting in the last calendar year.
Make as many recommendations as you like! We will strive to have at least one recommendation from every member selected for the upcoming year.
Recommendations should meet most of the following guidelines: under 400 pages, published at least one year ago, and ideally in our catalog (or easily obtained by the library using MaineCat)
If you are looking for ideas of things for us to read, check out book club lists like the NY Times annual book list, NPR's list, Read with Jenna's list, or Oprah's Book Club.
