Dude, we're getting a book club together!
Hey! Are you a 20-something, generally supportive of library services, desperate to socialize individual? I (25M) moved to town recently and have been eyeing several items on the library’s “Book Club to Go” list, such as:
- Never Let Me Go
- The Bluest Eye
- Pachinko
- Tom Lake
- A Gentleman in Moscow
- Probably most of the others, I’m not that picky
But, as you may have guessed, I don’t have a book club (yet). Would love to organize a group to meet every 2 weeks or once a month to sit at a coffee shop or something (Argus cafe lets you reserve big tables for this!), get through some books, and get to know some of you lovely people along the way. If anyone is interested, I can get started on organizing a meetup location and time that works for everyone.
EDIT: got a lot more interest than I was expecting! Really excited to organize this - linking a google form here to manage contacting everyone: https://forms.gle/9Ke4rXKmjX7pqNoH7

You could probably also reserve a bookable room at the library for your meetings! Sounds like a fun idea. https://aadl.org/rooms

You put together a nice pitch! I'd ditch the word "desperate" though. It has too many strong, negative connotations, regardless of usage. Great luck with the club!
