I used a useful book for a dissertation last year.
"The Reading Groups Book" by Jenny Hartley. OUP, Oct 2002. 0199255962
Although not strictly-speaking just research on library-based groups, it's a useful study of the relative success, format and aims of different groups. The author uses surveys and interviews.
I'd be very interested in the information you get on this, good luck!
