Book Club Information

The Windsor Public Library and Wilson Branch facilitates two book clubs currently.

The Windsor Public Library’s Afternoon Book Club meets on the second Thursday of the month from 2 to 3 pm in person and on Zoom – its a hybrid book club. If you are interested in the current title, please call the Reference Desk at 860-285-1918. If you are interested in attending, please register through Library Calendar.

The Windsor Public Library’s Sustainability Book Club will meet quarterly in the evening. If you are interested in the current date or title information, please call the Reference Desk at 860-285-1918. If you are interested in attending, please register through Library Calendar.

If your book club knows what they want to read, we can help. Just contact our Book Club Coordinator, Danielle Tapper and she will get you set up! One thing to consider is using one of our book club kits – these include ten copies of great titles and are available to check out for six weeks. Book Club Kits Flyer

As sort of a social media for readers, Goodreads is the world’s largest site for book recommendations. Readers can add books to virtual shelves that they want to read as well as post reviews and ratings for books they have already read. Add friends and share what you are reading with them, enter giveaways for free books, play trivia, and more.

NoveList Plus is a source available through libraries that offers reading recommendations and read-alikes as well as listen-alikes for audiobooks, series information, reviews, lists, and book award information.

NetGalley distributes digital uncorrected proofs of novels to users in order to generate reviews pre-publication. These are typically granted to “professional readers” such as bloggers, book reviewers, booksellers, educators, journalists, and librarians.
