I have not got very far with my 'little research' at all, but that's partly because I haven't been following up. Your comment, Helen, reminded me that there is a primary school I know of which has a Literature Club (it also has a Math Club), and June, your comment, which is very encouraging, reminded me that there is a book store that has a book club for adults, and did I hear that there was one for young adults? I must check. I love the idea of them being able to borrow which reduces the need to buy.Diane Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027399765826980748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798666792536941164.post-33160397970015097882012-02-12T12:36:36.609-08:002012-02-12T12:36:36.609-08:00A couple years ago I was a guest at the Bequia Boo...A couple years ago I was a guest at the Bequia Book Club. This is sponsored and organized by the Bequie Book Shop. The meeting was attended by many children of varying ages. It appeared to be a vibrant club. Their meeting also had a social aspect to it. The club had a collection of books that members could borrow thus eliminating the need to purchase. It met on Saturday afternoon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257713483600159931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2798666792536941164.post-51125645284466763442012-02-12T09:38:18.218-08:002012-02-12T09:38:18.218-08:00Montego Bay High School has a book club.

I'm not sure it operates in the sense you are talking about, but they did buy a copy of Delroy in the Marog Kingdom and said they'd put in the library after members had read it. Your post reminds me that I need to pay them another visit. Thank you.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743130026557678304noreply@blogger.com
