Overview

Library Book Clubs

Monash Public Library Service proudly supports 40 local book clubs, free of charge, by supplying book club sets of 10 copies up to 12 times each year to each club. 

If you are an individual looking to join an existing book club, please express your interest here. We will contact you when vacancies arise.

If you are an existing group of 10 people seeking to borrow book club kits from us, unfortunately we are at capacity and don't accept new book clubs at the moment.

For other types of Book Clubs, refer to those sections for further information about their membership status.

For any other enquiries, please contact askmonlib@monash.vic.gov.au.

Thank you and happy reading!
