Enjoy a relaxed, welcoming monthly book club at Riverwood Library where parents and book lovers come together to share ideas, recommendations and lively discussion. This library event is perfect for busy mums and dads seeking a friendly community space and stimulating conversation about curated reads.
When you arrive you'll find a small, comfortable group of local readers ready to chat about the month's selected title. Expect warm conversation, thoughtful perspectives and a chance to discover new books through our library book sets.
The session runs for an hour and is intentionally relaxed so you can drop in between school runs or activities. Bring a reusable coffee cup, swap reading tips and enjoy a supportive atmosphere for parents who love reading and literary discussion.
Discussion topics vary each month depending on the selected title, and facilitators guide the group to keep conversations engaging and inclusive. Keywords: book club, Riverwood Library, library events, reading, book discussion.
