The Library has seven different book discussion groups: Eastern Voices, Classic Book Discussion, Cookbook Club, Men's Book Group, Ravenna Road Irregulars: Mystery Books, Third Monday Book Group, and Soul of Literature: African American Literature.

Ours is a book club on the old model: a long-term, ongoing group of women that reads and discusses a variety of books and enjoys great friendships. Book selections are determined by our members at each meeting.  The books we read span a wide spectrum: romance, chick lit, fantasy/paranormal, fiction, non-fiction, classics, etc.  We gravitate toward well-written books that make you think!  All suggestions are welcomed and encouraged. Who should join?  Women who want to read, have fun and dev …

We find ourselves never needing a reason to finish a bottle of wine but needing a little push to finish that book on the nightstand, even if it is a good one.  Join us on the third Monday of each month for a book and wine meetup where we can all enjoy a good glass of wine and discuss the book of the month. As an active member, please come prepared with a few book options to suggest for our next meetup!   *There are separate groups for Westside and Eastside.  Each group is run independently!*

This book club is designed just for women to meet together and discuss books relating to women. Our plan is to meet once a month in Independence at a place to eat on the 4th Friday of the month. This is great a chance to meet other women, socialize and have some stimulating conversation!

Interested in learning about the modern corporation and how it exercises power and control over our communities, our government, and our lives? If so, this is the book group for you. Join in as we discuss books examining the corporate role in social trends like growing inequality, the credit and foreclosure crisis, stock market predation, de-unionization, health care inefficiencies, and more. We will look at books both critical and celebratory of corporate behavior so that we may aspire to discu …

Knowledgeable and fun adults discussing contemporary literature several times a month in the Cleveland area. Expect provocative, at times, controversial reading. Enjoy fun conversation, food, alcoholic and NA drinks. No sticklers please... We try and alternate between fiction and non-fiction and are very open to book suggestions. Come share your love of reading and conversation! (And no penalties for not finishing the book on time either.)

I started this group as an outlet for other women out there who love to read. Lets get together and enjoy some adult time over a good book. See you soon!

We find ourselves never needing a reason to finish a bottle of wine but needing a little push to finish that book on the nightstand, even if it is a good one. Join us for a monthly book and wine meetup where we can all enjoy a glass of wine and discuss the book of the month. In this club, we intend to read modern literature, chick literature, and some fluffier non- fiction. But don't worry, we aren't nearly as particular about our wine! As an active member, please come prepared with a few book o …

This group is dedicated to meeting new friends and appreciating times with current friends. We are an open and affirming group. Most of the activities organized will include weekly bowling, book club, scrap booking, as well as seasonal activities and group sporting events. MEETUP.com CHARGES organizer fees. I hope you will decide to donate a 1 time donation of $10 per member to help offset these costs. MEETUP offers a great phone app that I have found to be the best out there. I hope you will de …

This is a group for all those, who like to write! All those, who would like to publish... something.

We'll listen and tell you what we hear as you awaken it from its slumber. Curious how it will be received? You'll never know until you brave the 'group listen'.  It's fun!  It's revealing! It's what you've been waiting for.... do it.

I have been inspired to begin a study group for the book A Course in Miracles. After beginning the course about one year ago and quitting before finishing the text or the work book, I am beginning my journey through the course again. I am currently on page 102 in the text and working to complete lesson number 22. The purpose of this group is to find other people who may be beginning the course for the first time or have completed the course and have successfully applied the principles and concep …
