Selecting Books
Determine how books will be chosen, whether through member suggestions, a rotating selection process, or a predetermined list.
Setting Meeting Schedule and Location
Decide on a regular meeting time and place that is convenient for all members, whether in a public space, someone's home, or online.
Facilitating Discussions
Establish guidelines for discussions to ensure everyone has a chance to participate and share their thoughts on the chosen book.
Creating a Welcoming Atmosphere
Foster a friendly and inclusive environment where members feel comfortable expressing their opinions and engaging in meaningful conversations about literature.
