Join a Book Club at the Ishpeming Carnegie Public Library

(ISHPEMING, MI) – The Ishpeming Carnegie Public Library encourages community members to join a book club offered at their library! ICPL is proud to have seven monthly book clubs for various age groups and interests. From a graphic novel book club for middle schoolers to a horror book club for adults, there is truly something for everyone! Book club attendees read the book selection prior to the meeting and discuss the book together on a specified date. Additionally, the books are available for checkout for library cardholders a month in advance of the meeting. Here is a list of book clubs and the books that will be discussed in November:
