Join a Book Club
To help us keep our book clubs free and thriving, we ask that participants purchase the book club selection from Words on Pages Bookshop whenever possible. Already own the book? That’s okay! We simply ask that you support the shop in another small way, such as purchasing another book or some of our bookish merchandise during your visit.
Your support helps us continue hosting book clubs, community events, and creating a welcoming space for readers. Thank you for supporting your local independent bookstore!
