Join our book club community

We're thrilled to support book lovers across our community - and it won't cost you a thing!

Our Book Club collection is available for established reading clubs who want to explore great stories together. From contemporary fiction to thought-provoking non-fiction, our curated collection offers something for every club.

Browse our available list of book club titles - we have over 100 titles for you to consider for your club's next great read.

Please note: Book club sets are available exclusively to City of Charles Sturt residents who hold a library membership.

Where your club can meet

Book clubs are welcome to meet wherever suits them best - at home, in a cafe, a local park, or at the library. All our libraries offer open public spaces that your club is welcome to use during opening hours - no bookings required. These shared areas are ideal for informal, flexible gatherings.

If your club prefers a more private or guaranteed space, the City of Charles Sturt offers a range of private meeting rooms across libraries and community centres. These can be reserved through SpacetoCo by a nominated club representative and may be subject to availability and hire fees.

How it works

  • Each book club set contains 10 copies of the same title.
  • Clubs can access up to 12 different titles per calendar year.
  • Titles are available on a first-in, first-served basis.
  • A club coordinator who is a Charles Sturt Library member is responsible for collecting and returning sets each month.
  • Browse and collect book sets from our Book Club Hub at the Civic (Woodville) Library.
  • Loan periods are 5 weeks, with the option to borrow individual copies afterward if available.
