Guidelines

Your book club committee met to discuss some of the concerns going on and we thought it would be a good idea to bring back the "Guidelines" that were in place (with some updates) once upon a time. Following these guidelines will help to keep our meetings on track and allow us to have more fun together. Here they are:
  • Be considerate and respectful during discussions. Debate and disagreement is normal (after all, we're not all going to like every book every month), but we need to be tactful and mindful of others feelings.
  • You should have read the book in order to participate in the discussion. You're welcome to attend the meeting and connect with friends if you haven't read the book, but during the discussion, you are an observer, not a participant.
  • Please don't monopolize the discussion. Give everyone a chance to speak.
  • It helps to come prepared to the meeting with a question about the book in mind.
  • Invite friends!! This book club is not affiliated with any group or church. Everyone is welcome.
