Anyone with a library card may join the group.  You can also keep up with A Novel Idea Book Discussion by joining our group on goodreads.

  This Adult Book Discussion group meets on the first Monday of the month at 7:00 pm. We read a variety of titles, ranging from horror to young adult to nonfiction. Stop by the Reference Desk to pick up the featured book and come to the discussion to get the next month's title.

• Book Discussion Kits

  The Plainfield Public Library has a growing collection of Book Discussion Kits available to lend to our patrons and fellow libraries who are seeking multiple copies of books for discussion. Each discussion set contains between 10-20 books.

• Online Book Clubs

  Join the Library's Online Book Clubs. Every day, Monday through Friday, you will receive in your email a five-minute selection from a chapter of a book. By the end of the week, you'll have read 2-3 chapters. Every Monday we start a new book. Sign up and start reading.
