BV Book Club has first meeting coming up...
The Bossier Voices first (and only) book club will have its first meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday Sept. 6 at Shogun Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar in Bossier City. It is free and open to the public.
The book club began as a seed of an idea and has since grown to about 25 members who can’t wait to stay up on the latest bestsellers and make some new friends.
“The book club sounds awesome,” said Jessica Ward, one new member.
Members should mark their calendars for Sept. 6 and prepare for a fun evening. At the meeting we will discuss regular meeting times that coordinate with busy schedules, and blogging about our books in the interim.
For instance, do members want to meet monthly in person? Scott Anderson, technology guru for The Shreveport Times, plans to set up a chat room at www.bossiervoices.com where members can discuss the book at any time.
We also will take the time to establish ground rules including how books are chosen, who hosts, who leads discussions and what kind of commitment is expected.
New Bossier Parish Library community coordinator Vickie Hardin is on tap to help the group to choose books. The library also will act as a venue for many in-person meetings.
Members should be ready to start thinking about whether they want the same person to host along with how the Bossier Parish Library will pick the book.
We also will talk about holidays and how they effect the Bossier Voices book club. Some book clubs take December off from reading and plan a fun event out.
No matter how the Bossier Voices book club chooses books, we also need to decide if there will be any restrictions on the choices (ie, just fiction, just paperbacks, etc.).
