INTRODUCTION
The need to resuscitate the reading habits among the people of Oyo State, especially the youths, informed the decision of some learned and intelligent Oyo people to start-up a 'Book Reader's Club in the town. As they say, 'When you stop reading, you stop learning', this singular quote drives this set of people who believe that competitive book reading culture must be re-inculcated into the lives of both the young and the old people of the town.
This 'Book Readers' Club' is a discussion group, which welcomes members to meet and discuss a book or books that they have been reading.This will also be a platform for members to share books as well as offer an opportunity to meet to discuss a book, either when they are finished with reading
it, or after so-many chapters.
MODALITY
In the Book Club, we discuss books that each of us read on our own. The purpose of this club is to discover new fine books, as recommended by members, which would be otherwise missed. Books read can also be shared with other members of the club.
The book club is free for all to join.
How often will the group be meeting?
Most book clubs typically meet once in a week and discuss one selected book per meeting. Since our group is not a regular reading group (because we don't select a book for all to read at he same time), we can have our meetings weekly, but the members can come whenever they like, without feeling they missed a thread.
When does the group meet?
The moderator assumes that members could mostly find time in the evenings, or after-work times, or weekends. So we start by meeting on Sundays and then see how it goes. As our group establishes we could adjust the schedule to the majority of members.

Please Join the Book Reader's Club
We meet weekly. Each of us joins whenever we have
the time for it. Joining and participating in the book club activities
is free of charge. At the meetings each member is asked to talk about
recent books that he or she has read, and possibly recommend some. The
members that don't like to talk, but prefer to listen what others have
to say about books they read, they can do just that, of course.
On weekly basis, there will be a moderator who will be in charge of the day's programme and venue selection. The moderator, after each session, will write a summary on this web page, so that the others, who have missed it, could have an insight on what went on. Any of the members are welcomed to contribute, post their reviews and comments afterwards.
For any information and enquiries, contact;
There are no rules, just
some guidelines that will be set on our first meetings. The moderator is
very open to the ideas of the book club members regarding anything that
concerns this group's purpose. The main point is to have fun with it,
and share books and ideas with fellow book lovers.
If any of our members have written their own books, they are also welcome to share it with us in the book club.
As we progress, we will
invite writers to present their books to us, and have a chance to meet
them in person. It's always a thrill to find out the tricks of the
trade, and hear the stories from the horse's mouth.
