Bring Your Book: Arrive at the library with your chosen book in hand. Make sure it's one you're eager to share and discuss with others.

Engage in Discussion: Once everyone has gathered, participants will take turns sharing their thoughts on their chosen books. This could include favorite passages, character analysis, thematic elements, personal connections, and more.

Respectful Exchange: Engage in respectful and open-minded discussions with fellow participants. Share your perspectives while also listening attentively to others' viewpoints. This is a space for lively literary dialogue and exchange of ideas.
