The ABCs of Starting, and Maintaining, a Book Club

The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 26, 2017

For this month's Leonard Lopate Show Book Club segment, we will be addressing how to start your own book club, keep your book picks from getting stale, and how to keep it going for years. Lynn Lobash, who oversees reader services at the NYPL, and Glory Edim, the creator of the Brooklyn based book club and online community “Well Read Black Girl,” join us to discuss tips and tricks for starting a book club and keeping it going. We will also hear from a few subscribers to our Book Club Newsletter who have been in book clubs for a number of years.
