The First Rule of Book Club is… Online
Learn about what has and hasn’t worked for the Brackett Book Club, a successful fiction book club for adults. The Brackett Book Club is coming up on its eighth anniversary. The Brackett Library provides twenty copies of each month’s selection for checkout and discussion questions for the current selection. The titles are selected by the regular attendees and leased through Baker & Taylor, or we use one of our Book Club in a Bag kits to avoid crowding our shelves with duplicates.
Presenter: Angie Neely-Sardon is a Librarian and Assistant Professor II at Indian River State College. She has been the faculty librarian for the Brackett Library, a joint-use state college and public branch library located on the Mueller Campus in Vero Beach, FL, since August 2015. Angie holds a Master of Science in Library and Information Studies from Florida State University, along with two undergraduate degrees from the University of Florida. In August 2023, Angie was awarded the Patterson Endowed Teaching Chair in Humanities, which will fund the Brackett Preservation Lab—a DIY digitization lab for personal and regional archiving—for three years.
