About Oradell Library Sponsored Book Clubs
We have two book clubs, one in the daytime, the other in the evening. Each club reads a wide variety of books, ranging from fiction to non-fiction to classics and popular.
The Morning Book Group meets at 11AM and the Evening Book Group meets at 7PM, once a month. The dates will be determined by the club members.
Both book clubs meet on the main level of the library. Please contact the library at 201-262-2613 or email at linda.pabian@oradell.bccls.org for more information about the book clubs.
Note to Book Clubs: When choosing a book, please try to pick an older book or one that is not currently popular. If you choose a popular new book, many libraries may have copies of it, but they may be all checked out and/or on reserve for their own patrons.
In addition, BCCLS policy states that libraries should not request books from other libraries until they are at least 6 months old. Please check the BCCLS web site to see if the book you chose is AVAILABLE at several libraries, before you choose it for your book club.
