THE BOOK CLUB EXPLODED

摘要

One leader, 12 readers, and a few well-thumbed copies of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. That's all a book club once required. No more. The runaway popularity of book clubs has brought with it a whole new set of possibilities. Thematic discussion? A fictiononfiction mix? Videoconferencing? Multimedia exploration? With these and other approaches, librarians nationwide are successfully restructuring chitchat about beloved classics or recent best sellers to deliver a richer and more vibrant experience for everyone.
