Jake Epp Library Book Club
If you’d like to join an existing book club, Jake Epp Library hosts three in-house book clubs for adults.
Evening Book Clubs
– held on the last Wednesday of the month (with a few exceptions). We have two evening book clubs (6pm and 7pm) and you are welcome to attend one, or both! (We try to have different genres at both so there is something for everyone!) Our evening book clubs are for adults only.
Daytime Book Club
– held on the last Friday of the month (with a few exceptions) from 9:30-10:30am. This is a child-friendly book club; adults are welcome to attend this book club with or without children (you do not need to find childcare!) Playtime with blocks will be set up for young children while adults discuss the book.

Copies of the book are available at the circulation desk. The book for each month is posted on the event calendar.
Book Club Kits
If you’re in a book club, or interested in starting your own, consider taking advantage of our Book Club kits, where we have multiple copies of the same book as well as discussion questions. We have a variety of genres for adult readers and teens alike. If you’re interested in knowing what we offer, view this pdf of our Book Club Kit Catalogue.
If you would like to submit a Book Club Kit Request, forms are available at the library or are printable using this pdf, Book Club Kit Request Form. Forms may be submitted in-person, by phone (204-326-6841), or by email (librarian@jakeepplibrary.com).
