Adult Book Club & Resources

Jake Epp Library Book Club

If you’d like to join an existing book club, Jake Epp Library hosts an in-house book club meeting on the third Wednesday of each month from 7-8:30 pm. 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).
