Outreach Books Clubs: Venturing Outside the Library Walls Learning Outcomes The webinar will assist librarians and support staff in academic, school, or public library settings in understanding the pros and cons of incorporating outreach book clubs into their existing programming. Participants will learn how to evaluate if such a book club would work well for their library community. Logistics, such as group membership, location selection, and basic title selection will be discussed. The webinar will also address the decision to incorporate non-patrons in an outreach book club, including the administrative challenges and possible benefits of doing so. Attendees will have access to sample documents to use to easily track their groups. Participants will discover practical details and flexible strategies that any library can tweak to quickly begin the process of creating an outreach book club.
