Books, Books, and More Books!
Having trouble finding your next read? We have 16 book clubs providing great reading recommendations every month. Plus, you can meet with other book lovers to talk about the book and swap recommendations and read-a-likes.
Reminder: Summer at Jax Library runs through August 1. This year's theme, Unearth a Story™ underscores the joy of discovery that reading brings. Of course, Jax Stacks, our year-round reading challenge for adults continues. Have you crossed off "A book read by a Library Book Club in 2026"? Our Library Book Clubs often read and discuss books that satisfy other challenge categories, too!
Challenge yourself even further by:
- Inviting a friend to your favorite book club (or going with them to theirs)
- Requesting a personalized booklist from our "Book Finder" librarians
- Bookmarking jaxlibrary.org/BookClub so you never miss a meeting
