Buncombe County has an online book club called Bookmarked that meets on Zoom on the third Tuesday of each month, September through May, at 7 p.m.
Each month Bookmarked will read a title of popular fiction selected by the club. The online book discussion is hosted by one of our librarians. Copies of the selected books are available at the Fairview Library and you can request any of the books to be sent to your favorite library for pickup. Most selections can be downloaded as an eBook or audiobook from the North Carolina Digital Library. No need to leave your house on a cold winter day – you can share books with other interested readers in your pajamas from your own couch. Read along with us to discover new titles you may not have bookmarked on your own.
You can join Bookmarked any time by emailing prior to any meeting. This book club (and all library events) are listed on the library calendar.
