CML’s Random Readers’ Book Club

Join us for your next great read!


Looking for a book club that offers something a little different? Whether you’re an avid reader or just getting back into the habit, the Random Readers’ Book Club at Crosby Memorial Library is a welcoming space for thoughtful conversation, shared stories, and new perspectives.

This isn’t your average book club! We mix things up with a combination of:
📖 Group Reads – We read a specific book together and gather to discuss characters, plot, and themes.
📚 Free Reads with a Twist – Instead of one title, members choose their own books based on a shared topic. Past themes have included:

  • Books set in a specific time period (e.g. the Roaring Twenties, World War II, or the distant future)

  • Books that evoke a certain feeling or expression (like wanderlust, nostalgia, hope, or resilience)

  • Books centered around a holiday or significant date in history (such as stories set on Independence Day, during Women’s History Month, or around New Year’s resolutions)

Each meeting brings fresh perspectives, fun discoveries, and great conversations—plus light refreshments and coffee to keep the discussion flowing!

☕ What to Expect:

          ✅ A relaxed and welcoming environment
          ✅ A blend of structured reads and reader’s choice
          ✅ Friendly discussions fueled by coffee and snacks
          ✅ A great opportunity to explore new genres and titles

New to the club? We’d love to have you! Give us a call or stop by Crosby Memorial Library to be added to the reserve lists and get started on your next great read.

Come join the Random Readers’ Book Club—because sometimes the best stories are the ones you never saw coming.
