Great Reads Book Club

The Great Reads Book Club is for anyone 18 and older who loves to read and wants to discuss great books with other members of the community. It is the mission of the Marlborough Public Library Great Reads Book Club to provide an open and friendly environment within which all members of the community are welcome to discuss books they have read; also, to expand members' personal literary experiences by introducing them to books that they might otherwise not have selected. Monthly books, either fiction or nonfiction, are chosen by the book club members on a yearly basis in the fall and are provided in various formats (e.g. large print and audio) to ensure that all members of the community who wish to participate are able to do so.

Meetings are on the 2nd Tuesday at 6 pm or the following Thursday at 11 am. 

You will have the option of attending virtually or in person, but registration is still required. Please see our event calendar for more details or our catalog for current titles.
