Are you hoping to read more and make new friends in 2026? Joining one of HDL’s book clubs is the perfect place to start.
Each month, readers come together to explore great stories and share their thoughts. Whether you’re an avid bookworm or just getting back into reading, our book clubs offer a welcoming, low-pressure space where everyone belongs.
Stop by the Main Library to see this month’s featured titles on display behind the checkout desk (while supplies last), and start your new year surrounded by great books and even better company.
Prefer to read digitally or listen on the go? Most of our book club selections are also available on Libby and Hoopla.
