There are lots of ways to run a book club. I have hosted a book club here in Louisville for several years. If you are interested in running your own book club, you can see a very detailed description of running a book club on our main site:

For awhile now, I have been thinking of ways to make communication with our book club families a little easier. Right now, I send most of our communications through a yahoo group, however, the group has over 750 families, and only about 18 are directly involved in book club. I do like the simplicity of an easy group address.
Well, this week I learned about a site called: QLUBB where I can create a club page, and it automatically generates a club email list. I quickly and easily set up our club's list, and now all I have to do is invite the book club families to join. There is a place where I can post pictures from our meetings, tell upcoming events and books and send general announcements. I think this will simplify my communications with the book club girls and will allow me to more safely share information JUST with those who need the information. I am really looking forward to implementing this with our group.
If you are interested in a club list for your small group, see: www.qlubb.com
Happy Homemaking!

How cool! I have just set a Qlubb up for our Creation Club. It's going to be so helpful. Thank you for passing this on!
