Book Club

BOOK CLUB

The Pymble Book Club is a welcoming and fun space for booklovers of all sorts to come together to discuss, debate and laugh. It is a Co-curricular program offered by the Pymble librarians each semester. All the members are brought together by their common love for books, whether that be manga, Harry Potter or romance novels.

“I love attending Book Club because we get to discuss what books we are currently reading, so we get an eclectic collection of book titles that we can read individually, and we choose a book to read together. I love that we also play games involving books like scavenger hunts and Kahoots. We get to meet like-minded individuals.”

– Nalanie Kant, Year 8.

“Book Club is a fun way to connect with others over everyone’s shared

love of books!” – Coco Ran, Year 9 For the past two years, booklovers have gathered on Thursday afternoons in the fiction section of the Conde Library. The unexpected breakout of COVID-19 right before the start of Term 3 did not in the slightest deter book clubbers from their weekly catch up. Meeting over Microsoft Teams brightened many people’s lockdowns.

Mrs Zwar and Mr Dale-O’Connor worked hard to organise fun activities that could be implemented online – virtual scavenger hunts, Kahoots, Pictionary with the online whiteboard tool – these amazing librarians kept us well entertained throughout the lockdown period. We are all super lucky to have such a wonderful community of booklovers at Pymble. This year, Book Club was full of surprises and dodging obstacles, but all the members thoroughly enjoyed it and are eagerly looking forward to the excitement of next year’s new members, books and opinions.

– Mulan Xu, Year 9 and Lily Still, Year 7
