Resolve to Read More Books and Join a Book Club in 2024
Fort Bend County Libraries (FBCL) encourages readers of all ages to make a New Year’s resolution to read more books in 2024!
Share that passion for reading with other book lovers – and make new friends with similar interests -- at one of the many book clubs that meet monthly at FBCL locations throughout the county. New members are always welcome.
FBCL’s book clubs represent a wide variety of books and genres, and they meet at designated times and days every month. Whether you enjoy a good love story, a gritty crime novel, or an illustrated graphic novel, there is likely to be a group sharing that interest nearby.
The book titles are typically available in the libraries’ regular collections – either as a hardcopy print version or digitally as a downloadable ebook or e-audiobook – but special “book-club collections” are also available at the check-out desk at the hosting library, so be sure to inquire about additional availability.
The following is a list of the book clubs that meet at FBCL locations, along with their January selections.
