How to Start Your Own Coffee Shop Book Club

For book lovers a book club is a must. For some, myself included, the love of books and coffee shops go hand-in-hand. For some book lovers the idea and challenge of starting their own book club at a coffee shop is a wonderful idea. The question is where does one begin in starting their own book club at a coffee shop? Here are some simple steps to follow to start that wonderful relationship with others with the same loves as you.

First things first, choose a coffee shop to serve as a location for your meetings. Try your local coffee shop. Most coffee shops have rooms or sections that you could meet at that would prove beneficial. Something else to consider is talking to the manager about discounts for the members of the book club while the meeting is taking place. If you did not want to meet at the same coffee shop every week, you can be the traveling book club. You could meet at a different coffee shop every meeting if there is enough coffee shops in your town to accommodate this.

Next you want to invite the members. It could be as simple as just inviting friends and co-workers or you could hang flyers at your local library and coffee shops to widen the possibilities. If you have a preference, like an all female or all male group, be sure to specify on the flyer. Do not forget to include you name and phone where they could reach you in case they wanted more information.
