Aurora Public Library Launches Five Book Clubs for Every Reader
Programs at the Aurora Public Library and related sites support different reader groups through scheduled discussions and activities.
How we reported this
Aurora Public Library offers multiple book clubs including the Breakfast Book Club, Books at the Bar, and the Griot Book Discussion. These groups meet at set times and locations tied to library facilities.
Monthly and Recurring Discussions
The APL Afternoon Book Club meets on the third Monday of every month from 2:30-4:00 PM at Aurora Public Library for shared title discussions. The Breakfast Book Club meets on the last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. at Santori Library. The Griot Book Discussion focuses on African-American authors and meets on the third Tuesday. Books at the Bar is open to adults 21 and older and takes place at various venues.
Seasonal and Youth Programs
Aurora Library's Summer Reading Club runs from June 21 to September 13 and includes storytimes, bead-earning, prizes, and free books. The Teen Book Social at Santori Library has no assigned reading and centers on book conversations, snacks, games, and new book previews.
Language-Specific Groups
Spanish-language book discussions occur at Nide Jardín at 140 S. River St. with book pickups at Santori Library's 2nd floor and are led by Kathy Mendoza. These options expand access for participants who prefer discussions in Spanish.
The listed programs use library spaces and fixed schedules to organize reading activity. Readers interested in joining can review current details through the Aurora Public Library site or related event listings to match a group with their availability and preferences.
