In this informal self-guided program, adults are invited to discuss their favourite books and genres in a relaxed atmosphere. Unlike traditional book clubs, no specific book is selected for each session. This is an opportunity for people to get together to talk about what they are reading and inspire each other's future reads. 

Third Thursday evening of each month

Drop-in

Join us to discuss books from the science fiction and fantasy genres each month.  All are welcome! 

Every 3rd Thursday of the month from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.

Here's what we're reading spring/summer 2024:

• April 18: Doing time by Jodi Taylor
• May 16: The Candy House by Jennifer Egan
• June 20: Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Please note: Registrants are responsible for securing a copy of the book to read or listen to.

La succursale Vanier de la Bibliothèque publique d’Ottawa invite les francophones et les francophiles de toutes générations à se joindre à un Cercle de Lecture. On y mettra l’accent sur les ouvrages écrits en français se rapportant à la francophonie canadienne. Chacune des personnes participantes aura le choix de présenter un livre de sa préférence, dans une atmosphère harmonieuse. Une animatrice en assurera le bon déroulement. Les rencontres du cercle auront lieu le dernier lundi de chaque mois (dès Octobre) de 19h à 20h15.

Share the enjoyment of good books in a relaxed atmosphere. All are welcome! Drop-in program.
