imPROMPTu Book Club

Are you the sort of person who can’t decide what to read next? The IMPROMPTU Book Club could be for YOU!


How does it work?

We will reveal a reading prompt on the group page, Shelf Indulgence at the Val Verde County Library, at the beginning of the month, and YOU choose a book from the VVCL collection or hoopla.*

When do we meet for book club?

We will meet at the library on the last Wednesday of the month from 5:30 – 6:30 pm to share the book you chose based on the prompt.

The imPROMPTu Book Club is a great way to explore the VVCL's collection and expand your reading tastes.
