Book Club Information

The Urbana Library Book Club first began meeting in October of 2015.  We meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 6:45 to 8:00 pm.  FURL Book Club is currently meeting on the upper level of the Urbana Regional Library conference room, while also having the Zoom option. Please RSVP/email below so we can set up a computer/Zoom link in advance. In warmer months, we sometimes gather outside of the library, weather-permitting.

Book titles are selected by the members, and may be fiction or nonfiction. New members are welcome at any time! Below you will find the most up to date book list. The book list can also be found inside the library. If you can’t reserve a copy through your FCPL library account and/or wish to purchase the title, links to Amazon and Bookshop.org (supports local independent book stores) are also provided below.

Interested attendees may contact furlbookclub@gmail.com
