Reading Groups
Some public libraries run reading groups or book clubs for interested people in their area. Each month a different book is selected, and a meeting is held at which responses to the book can be discussed. A blog for a reading group blog is useful for providing a news service for the group - the next title selected, the next meeting to be held. Additionally, if it is set up so that users can append their own comments, it can also function as a discussion area. This enables people to continue the discussion after the meeting and also provides an opportunity for house-bound people to join in the discussions.
