For those of us who have tried and tried to make a book club work, this is a great set of suggestions and examples to create a lasting book club at your school. I really love the question and answer to “Will participants be required to read the entire book to participate?” I have faculty book clubs where a requirement to “read it all” would have automatically failed. Stacy’s advice to be open-minded will help get your book club off the ground.
