Dear colleagues,

 

We’re considering setting up a library-facilitated book group for students here at UWL and would love to hear from anyone with experience doing something similar, either in the past or as a current project.

 

Some questions of particular interest:

 

1.       How often does the group meet (or was it a one-off event)?

2.       What was the reception like with students? How many members are there and were students involved at all in the set-up/organisation?

3.       Do you provide copies of the books (and if so, is it out of your own budget?) or do you leave it to members to find their own copies?

4.       What do you think was successful/not successful? Is there any other advice you think we should know?

 

I’m of course happy to compile answers and share with the list if there’s an interest. Thanks in anticipation of your help!

 

Best regards,

Carmella
