How can I start a book club?

I'd like to start a book club at my school. Is there any information I should know? Are books rented or bought?How can I start a book club?
I guess the first thing you need when starting a book club is people. Find people you know or a group of friends that would all like to read a book at the same time. The next thing would be picking a book that is pretty well known and easy to find for everyone to read. You would want to pick if you want fiction, non-fiction or if you want the group to have a theme, like reading just mysteries or something like that. It might be helpful to establish a rough time line of when everyone should have chapters done by so you can all finish the book by the time you meet. At the actual book club, it might be helpful to have discussion questions or topics to discuss. Many books include these types of questions. You can get books out of a local library, or buy them in a bookstore or online. Used books can also be bought on sites like Amazon. Good luck starting your book club!!How can I start a book club?
I recommend you talk with your local library. Frequently the library can offer you facilities for your meetings. They can also publicize your club and check out proposed members. Members will usually buy their own copies of the book the club has selected for its discussion. Of course, a member could also borrow the book from a friend or check it out from the library. However, since the club may take 2 or 3 months or even longer to make its way through a selection, borrowing or library check-out may not be good options.



Good luck.How can I start a book club?
Ask your school's librarian for some info on borrowing the library books for club meetings, events, etc.



First of all, you'll need a club sponsor. Talk to one of your favorite teachers, a teacher interested in books, an English teacher, etc. Ask him/her if they'll host meetings in their classroom and provide books.



You'll need to recruit students to join the club, as well. Make an announcement on the school news or at lunch. Visit different English classes to talk to the teachers/students about the club.



Once you have members, have them vote for club officers: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Historian, etc. These officers, as well as the sponsor, will keep meetings running smoothly.



Basically just have a plan, stick to it, and have fun! Best of luck!
