Hosted by La Grange Park Public Library, La Grange Park, Illinois, USA
and
Parkes Shire Library, Parkes Shire, New South Wales, Australia

 

    Welcome to e-readers™, the first international on-line book discussion club in the U.S.

    Unlike local book discussion groups, this one gives you a chance to see what people from another culture think about the books you read.   It’s a great way to be part of a book discussion without worrying about meeting times that may not fit your busy schedule.

IT’S EASY!

    Once you have registered, we’ll send you the name of a book selection each month. Among them will be books by Illinois and Australian authors from the two host libraries’ local areas. When you’ve read each book, e-mail your thoughts to other Club members, and read their comments in your e-mail box at your leisure.

DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER?

    Stop by your local library, and we’ll help you get started. Membership is free, and you’ll never have to worry about receiving unwanted e-mails from commercial companies or related organizations. We never sell or distribute our lists. Any information you want to share with other club members in your e-mail messages is up to you.

WHO CAN JOIN?

    Anyone who likes the adventure of reading and discussing what you think about books can join. The books will be appropriate for older teens and adults of all ages.
