Book Discussions

The library hosts three casual book discussions each month.

  • Tuesday Night Book Club: Every second Tuesday of the month, we’ll discuss original texts from groundbreaking authors who are reframing the course of the literary world as we know it.
  • Hidden Histories: Every third Thursday of the month, our nonfiction book club will dive into a hidden piece of history. Join us to explore the stories of seemingly ordinary people who made an extraordinary impact.
  • OPPL Book Club: Join us every fourth Monday of the month to discuss a variety of genres and authors. Patrons can participate in person or online as our discussions are a hybrid of in-person and Zoom participants. Email reference@orlandparklibrary.org for the Zoom link.

No registration is necessary to join; simply drop in and join the fun. Copies of each group’s monthly selection are available through Overdrive and/or Hoopla and a limited number of copies are available at the second floor Adult Services Desk. Contact RSVP@orlandparklibrary.org or (708) 428-5150 with any questions.
