Book Clubs

South Dublin Libraries have book clubs in Tallaght, Clondalkin, Lucan, Castletymon, Ballyroan and Stewarts Hospital Libraries. You can get information about the availability of places and how to join, at your local branch. Book club membership is informal and free of charge.

Regular meetings are held at the libraries, usually on a monthly basis. The book for the next meeting is chosen, and a discussion of the book for the month is led by an experienced co-ordinator.
